Wow, that sounds familiar. I’m 33 also sever f-8 and that’s pretty much what I’m doing right now. gym 1 hr/3 wk walking with 5 # for 10 min on, 10 min off at 3.8 mph on varying degrees, then finish off my bike ride. I try to ride atleast 5 miles a day, 3-4 times a week 3 times that. I also watch what I eat very closely, saves me some time in the gym.
Awesome job guys for giving me even more hope.

I am about your age, I’m 39. I have severe hemophilia f-8 and have been working out my entire life. I did workout growing up in the 70′s. Ran long distance after recovering from 1st ankle surgery. Even wrestled for a season until that darn ankle totally crapped out. I found that biking is definitely a great workout for those with hemophilia,until the knees start to go, which my left has now. Being a very active guy no matter the pain has kept me strong, and the ‘hardening’ of my body from working out has kept me from many bleeds. My new passion is YOGA . Try it. It is incredible what it has done for my body. The combination of strength and stretching has allowed me to feel better now at 39 with a fused ankle and pains everywhere, than ever before. I actually do a hard 10 min on the stairmaster before my yoga workouts to turn the yoga workout into a good cardio workout as well.
