Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi Lynn, Go to rehab where you will be closely monitiered by wearing a heart monitier. They will tell you immediately if your heart rate goes to fast. They will coach you through all the exercizes and your confident level will increase. Give it a try. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Sounds like you may get some improvement from Hawthorn. The Cheney DVDs may be of some interest to you. I believe Dr. C. says that the problem is a lack of energy in filling the heart w/ blood, therefore the reason that your heart rate didn't stay at a high rate after your exercise. I also think that Dr. Lerner, where Cheney got a lot of his info from, said that exercise can make you worse or even..... However, if you continue to tolerate the exercise, you may be OK. Your young age may be helping. But wait a few days to see how you feel. I played a little basketball on Thanksgiving and was wiped out for four days-I played BB against children.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 exercise hello, some information on me: 28 years old, former smoker, 5'5 " /135lbs with CFS diagnosis/some FM symptoms. i tried to do some graded exercise on those machines that move your arms and legs, cross-country style, for 15 minutes yesterday. Aside from needing a couple of hours' more sleep than usual that night, thankfully i am fine. unlike other irmes, where some exercise left my heart beating at the same capacity as when exercised for hours afterwards. the thing is (and i don't know if this was due to a faulty computer) the machine at first read between 95-100 for my heart rate. the next reading plunged to between 60-65. at that point, i got off the machine and felt my heart seem to beat slower and harder, while i was sslightly out of breath. if the machine readings are correct (or even off by a couple of points), is this normal? should i try this exercise machine again? any opinions would be helpful. i would love to talk to my doc about this, but i won't be seeing one for the first time for another week yet. i still would like to exercise a few more times if i can stand it, before then. thanks for your advice on this matter. Nik, Just when did your heart start to beat slower? A lower reading could be due to a cardiac arrthymia if the change is in the middle of exercise. If the lower reading is after you quit exercising, the change is normal. 15 minutes is a lot of exercise to start with. I started with 5 minutes of walking and am now up to 18 minutes.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I remember during my worst month, dancing is all I could do. By myself though- so that I could only do " moves " that didn't hurt. Now I take a dance class at the gym and I'm fine unless I do the slightest hop/jump.

You do have to watch out for torque if you get carried away with the beat, but you can raise your straight legs frontways, sideways, and backwards (and everything in between to use those little-used small muscles).

When I hear a good rock song I can't help dancing, whether I'm lying down, driving, sitting down, or standing up.

This morning I decided to move my radio into the bathroom to have a little background while I washed my face and lo! I began dancing. We shall see what the consequences are tonight or tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I've done a little dancing over the years since my knees first got hurt -- I've never been much of a dancer, it used to be against our religion, but things are more lenient now -- my dancing has been mostly at cast parties after performances with my theater group. Sometimes it works better than others. My daughter is going to a ballroom dance class and it's been tempting to see if the teacher could accomodate my knee problems. It's certainly something to think about. Thanks for the inspiration.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 When I was growing up in the Bible Belt, the Baptists frowned pretty hard on dancing, but I think they gave up trying to control their teenagers. This was when rock was first developing and Elvis the Pelvis was shocking them. They were right, though. I think dancing together in a darkened room is (or can easily be) foreplay. It's definitely not sexual when I do it for exercise in my skivvies -- it's pretty disgusting. I can't stand to watch myself in the mirror.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Lots of them ban dancing, at least, the more fundamentalist religions seem to go through an early stage of banning it. I know some Baptist churches ban it, as do Pentecoatals, but I was raised Nazarene. I'm not sure that it's officially " OK " with Nazarenes, but it's not preached against from the pulpit like it was when I was little. I didn't understand why it was banned until one night when I watched a variety show on TV and the young men were wearing tight pants while they danced and I could suddenly understand that if we were trying to prevent lust in our hearts then dancing wasn't really an activity we should be engaging in! LOL! However, most dancing doesn't have that effect. Square dancing, polkas, and other energetic dances that focus on proper footwork are seldom invitations to lust. That said, when the hormones are raging anything is an invitation to lustful thoughts! However, it's a great way to get some exercise without thinking about it, so for those of us who can do it without sinning (sorry, can't quite type that with a straight face! -- I suppose that could count the swearing if we wrench our knees?) I thoroughly approve of dancing as a form of exercise.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 LOL!! Oh, thanks for the huge laugh! I'm with you, I wouldn't be able to watch myself dance either.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Great Job , so very proud of you!! 2 lbs is great!! -- exercise Hello, everyone. I had a good day today. I finally got back on my elliptical today for the first time in I don't know when. I also woke up to find I'd lost 2 more pounds so was very happy about that. , I know it's key for me too to keep an account of everything I eat. Are you doing this life change on your own, or are you following a program? I'm doing the Lindora program as I said before and have to say it's working. It is very strict but is what I need right now. I just want this weight off!! Hope everybody has a good day. We can do this! ------------------------------------ 100-Plus Files page 100-plus/files 100-Plus Links page 100-plus/links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Good job with the elliptical and losing 2 lbs !! I agree - I need to keep track of what I am eating, otherwise things snowball out of control too quickly. For myself, I am following WW right now. My first 25 lbs roughly I was following another program, now about 36 since going to WW. in WACreate a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Probably not, but if your losses are not what you want them to be, some have stopped working out temporarily and gotten greater losses during that time, so just keep it in mind if you stall or have smaller losses at any point.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 According to the paper instructions I have it is moderate walking thru day 20, day 21 you can start doing other moderate exercise starting with 10-5 min a day and adding 15 min each week until you reach 45-60 minutes a day. No lifting for 30 days. DOB May 9th,2008 (365) 345/333/170 From: Burson <burson.carrie@...>Subject: Exercise Date: Monday, May 26, 2008, 9:21 PM Just wondering. What does Dr. Aceves say about exercising after surgery? I'm sure he'll discuss this with me when I see him. I just want to get information on this topic so I can start plans. Thanks!

Is eating kept to a minimum to restrict band stretching? Or, Perhaps the band does not stretch and the upper-stomach stretches? Just thinking out loud. Thanks to all for the very helpful comments on diabetes 2. I may be moving forward with this procedure soon. It appears to be the least invasive, cheapest, too! Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I do not know if it is available where you are but water therapy did wonders for me after injuring my back and hips. You can move in the water without the pressure on the joints. Your weight is displaced and makes the legs not so heavy. You can feel that you have worked out after you get out of the water though! praise count your blessings & praise GOD for each one!! Exercise I have had several injuries to my right knee and to my lower back...can anyone give me some advise as to what kind of exercise I can do. I have a tredmill and a healthrider. I have been overweight for approximately 2 years due to a car accident in 2005. Get the Moviefone Toolbar. Showtimes, theaters, movie news, more!

Hi Ellie - I think I saw that you are going to start up swimming.... if walking is out of the question, at least in longer durations, I would recommend some of the sit-down programs we hear about: "Sit and Be Fit" on the PBS channels or 's "Sit Tight" might be something you can do until you build up strength, etc. in WAGas prices getting you down?

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Kellie Any chance you have stairs in your home. Running stairs burns 9 cals a minute. I do that when I can't get to the gym. I work with 5 minutes at a time.
