November 13, 2021：股関節の定期検診、医師からの指示 (Regular Checkup for My Hip Joints, Requirements by My Doctor)

 The day before yesterday was the 24th or 25th annual checkup day for my hip joints. It always makes me very nervous since I may have to have another surgery if the hip joints have anything wrong.
 I went to see an orthopedist for the checkup. As usual, first I took X-rays for them and then saw him. As a result, he has reassured me that my hip joints have nothing wrong and remain stable.
 However, I was strongly required to lose at least 5kg and enhance the flexibility of my hip joints. For the weight loss, I have to find appropriate exercises to lose weight without putting a heavy strain on my hip joints.
 I must also find new exercises to improve my flexibility. Over the last few years, I have done several flexibility exercises in the pictures below (three sets a day and thirty seconds per exercise). But the exercises do not improve my flexibility.
 I aim to lose 2kg by the end of this year and will set up my goal as soon as I find appropriate exercises for improving the hip joint flexibility

　一昨日、年に一度の股関節検診にいってきました。いつも通りレントゲンを撮影し、その後に、担当医の診断を受けました。股関節に異常は見られないとの説明を受け、安心しました。股関節の状態が悪化すると、再手術なんてことになりかねないので、毎年、ドキドキします。
　股関節は問題なかったのですが、担当医から2つの指摘を受けました。一つは、体重を減らすこと。5kgくらい痩せるよう強く言われました。股関節に負担が少なくて、体重減につながるトレーニング方法を探す必要があります。
もう一つの指摘が股関節の柔軟性です。ここ数年、下記画像にあるストレッチを1日3回（それぞれを30秒/回）やっているのですが、効果がでていないようです。
　とりあえず、年内に2kgの減量を目指します。股関節の柔軟性については、適切なエクササイズが見つかり次第、目標を設定します。
