Rehab, training at the gym, and CMT

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

This is a message for everyone who gives great advice on how to design a workout

routine for CMT. In particular, , who kindly passed along her physio /

rehab Dan Judge's email to me, and he gave some simple and really great advice.

A combo of the advice Dan has given, plus that intuitively that I have

learned, put together with the nerve stimulation stretching and workout readings

from Gretchen, plus my own doctors and physio visits led me to a very good intro

session today at my gym with a new trainer, who was very very interested in

helping me to design a routine to make sure I strengthened and stretched and

worked to ensure continued muscle stimulation to fight onset of symptoms if

possible.

I learned today so many things that do not necessarily make the motions hard to

do - they seem so simple - but through a consistent application it would seem I

can do a lot to build the strength I need / want. I view this as another

positive step in learning and a journey on what works and what doesn't for me.

If I get any good tips I will continue to share! For now I hope to make the

core stability programme today a good part of my programme - in combo with aqua

once a week and yoga once a week, the stability should

really help me to achieve my aim of a total body approach to CMT.

Thanks so much everyone.
