Idea's for Exercise

Dawn3063 · 01-15-2010, 08:26 AM

Ok, here is my problem. I was injured 8 years ago and it makes it very difficult for me to exercise no upper body stuff and walking is limited. I really enjoy a nice leisurely walk but I have to be cautious or I pay for it in a big way the night of and the following days.

Any suggestions for me

I'm open to them.

Hi Dawn,

No ideas for you, but I was thinking maybe you might get more responses if you post your question on the Exercise Board:

The Exercise Board - Low Carb Friends

Good luck! Hope someone has some ideas for you.

Good Idea... Thank you

Hi Dawn!
Just saw the post here. Is there any way of altering the exercises to make some to your ability? Wish I could help more! Maybe try some light yoga or tai chi?

I cant suggest anything. I was thinking of brist walking or something but it just might hurt you after. Sorry

T-Tapp, water aerobics, or just walking up and down the pool.

Well in that case as for me, don't force you self to do thing which you think you cant ... if your mind can manage you body then do it slowly until such time you can make it . The mind can govern our body , if we think we cant do this , then then some part of our body wont function too. Just do slowly , step by step!

They are 15 min breathing exercises and the site has a ton of incredible testimonials.

Good luck!

Perhaps you should consult your physician before trying exercise? You wouldn't want to cause any more permanent damage. Maybe they could refer you to a physical therapist that could give you suggestions to work with what abilities you do have. I wouldn't trust anything a 'trainer' at the gym tells you because they arent therapists usually. Gyms that cater to ladies only have equipment made for ladies that is not as tough to use like a regular gym. Perhaps a treadmill or recumbant bike done slowly? I walk 2.5 miles every day of the week but it took me a long time to work up to that. Good luck.

How about a recumbent bike, very low impact and you can sit and watch TV while doing it. Also, you can buy one very reasonably priced.HTH
