Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Mel,  I do the stretching with the bar (a walking stick that was given to me by a stranger one day at the lake) every day at the halfway point of my walk. I can't do every one of the 16 exercises yet, but I do at least 5 or 6 of them. I bought the DVD. The stick or bar you use is supposed to be as long as you are tall. Mine isn't, but I use it anyway and get some good stretching. It's called De Dang, pronounced Ye Yang (yes, honest!). The stretches were invented by Buddhist monks who needed a way to stretch their bodies after sitting many many hours in prayer. I enjoy doing them. Only go as far as your body tells you - and you really should have the DVD so you know what you're doing. Otherwise you could hurt yourself. Wouldn't want that to happen!  Peggy  ps...I LOVE my cai bao - I think it's the only gadget I have that is specifically made for a left-handed person - and you can't believe how wonderful it is to use. I haven't had much use for the noodler yet, but plan to use it more. I peeled 4# of organic carrots today with my cai bao and it was almost a pleasure!

Looks good. I'm going to get my broom and do that. lol Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Well, let's hope I get over this stupid bout of labyrinthitis (I cannot spell that word). lol I'll survive. I always do.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 No, as a matter of fact, I have such sensitive hearing (always have) I can hear a whisper. Been feeling okay. Today I took two buses to go shopping. If I had vertigo or a bad case of this laby thing, I would have NEVER been able to stand up on a bus let alone two buses, while it rolled back and forth. I watched all the scenery whizzing by. No reaction. And I can bend down and retrieve things. I've been doing the vestibular exercises whenever I'm outside. I stare straight ahead, walk a straight line and move my head from side to side. I read this online. Seems to be working. I feel much better. But I know that this thing takes several weeks and it comes and goes. So I'm not doing any strenuous stuff. Thanks for asking.
