Exercise

[Guest guest]

Wild

Where are you walking?.........it a nice green park........or down the

street with car fumes and other things?

Are you having problems because of the time it takes to put on your

walking

shoes/organise something beforehand/afterwards.

Are you able to come home and relax straight away or ?

When I take a walk somewhere I don't do anything before or after it -

sometimes the bag of shopping will remain on the bench until I can cope.

Sometimes my flatmate will shuffle through it and put away the cold

things

for me.

Wild how much toing and froing to do with your

children/family........maybe

you are getting enough exercise just coping with them.

Or can you have some household help sooooooo that you can take a walk in

the fresh air which will free up some airway/energy space.

Hi !

I walk around my neighborhood. No through traffic but neighbors cars,

trucks, vans, and semis, lawnmowers, smokestacks, tree pollen season. I

think that covers everything. I walk between all my other activities.

I kindof squeeze it in. But have given it up again. The only exercise

I'm getting now is sweeping, moping, vacuuming, dusting, shopping,

putting my kids on their bus but it don't seem like enough but it'll

have to do before I get any worse I may never be able to exercise again

despite what professionals say I guess my asthma is too severe to be

typical. After my walks I go into my next activity I might squeeze in a

water break a sit while I drink then onto next thing unless my body goes

into a total collapse mold then I rest until I feel strong enough to

continue activities. What I do with my kids? Everyday is different.

Today I got my teenager up for school got my kindergartener up gave him

his medicines and got him dress got his school supplies ready wrote a

note to his teacher got my 3rd grader up put my kindergartener on his

bus and took my 3rd grader and her friend to school came back home to

face the housework. This afternoon I'll do the same thing. That's all

the moving about I'm going to do today the kids will probaly want to get

into the waterhose cause it's 89 today but I don't know if I feel like

getting all that out since I just had my second attack of the day and

I'm drained plus we're going on a retreat tomorrow that I need to rest

for. I don't have any household help besides the children and they

usually want to tag along which is more draining.

YES!!! Exercising is so much easier and enjoyable now! I have to say

I haven't been working out regularly - but its not because I am so

big that it hurts to do so - it is because I got out of the habit and

haven't got back into!! Motivation is a problem at any size.

,

It has been two years since surgery and I still hate exercising!

I feel better when I have exercised.

I sleep better when I exercise.

I am mentally better and a nicer person to be around when I exercise.

I still have to force myself to go to the pool and swim.

It is my exercise of choice as I hate it the least.

No sweating, no hurting, it stretches out my insides and firms up my

outsides.

150 lbs. lighter and I still don't like to exercise.

Sorry - it doesn't get easier. You just need to make it a part of

your week. I can't commit to every single day.

Hi, As you know I'm new to the group, so I don't know what is common

knowledge. I've struggled through the first 4 months with help of

family, friends and doctor.

My big disappointment has been my inability to maintain my dog sport

hobby of agility. We geared my shots to have me in best condition on

weekends for shows. I'm only a novice and have competed in 4 shows

(you sign up for months in advance) since under Tx. Sometimes it was

fun, some points I thought I would die, people helped me but all in

all it was so hard to do, I didn't really learn anything and was just

a robot trying to breath long enough to make it through the course.

At home I don't have the energy to run with my dog anymore. I

measure my accomplishments in whether I can throw the ball and if so,

how many times.

I wonder, what level of exercise have others been able to maintain?

I find the grocery store exhausting. My doctor just kept telling me

everyone is different and led me to believe I might be able to resume

after 1 month ... 2 .... .....

Thank you,

Kim
