Re: Fibromyalgia Workout Video?

[Guest guest]

Thanks Sheli,

I'm pretty convinced that exercise is a large help with fibro. I'm just

getting started with my program, but I personally know of 2 fibro friends

that are in remission from their fibro and both are taking magnesium with

malic acid and exercising. My doctor at the health club (chiropractor) did

his thesis on Fibromyalgia and has 3 other patients of his at the club that

are in remission from Fibro. So.. I'm doing it and I think... no... make

that... I KNOW.... that this will work for me. I'm pretty convinced that

having an attitude that I can and will beat this somehow... also will add to

getting there.

If you can exercise (especially water exercises) will help. I've been

allergic to exercise (translated... hate it more than anything) but I'm

gonna force myself to get over it, and do whatever I can. Last night at the

gym, my physiotherapist took the time to spend with me and the personal

trainer to make sure the trainer didn't try to get me to do anything that

would be harmful. I'm so grateful that there are people that are taking an

active interest in my well being. It was nice to see the personal trainer

getting lessons on what Fibro is and how to help me. I feel protected from

injury or overdoing it now.

tender hugs,

Fibromyalgia Workout Video?

I did a search on the internet this morning for fitness / workout

videos for people with fibromyalgia and several responses came back

for one called Carol's Health Bounce. There is a synopsis at

http://www.needak-rebounders.com/Carols_Health_Bounce.htm Has anyone

ever tried this? She has fibro, arthritis and CFS and developed this

and says it helps. I am curious to know if anyone has tried it and if

they enjoy it and if it works? I of course would wear my knee

braces...*L*... but hey, if it helps like it helped her it should be

good. Any thoughts?

Hugs all...

Norah...

I think it can help too...however, I had a huge disappointment with a

gym here that I had a contract with... they said I could place the

contract on hold for my fibro flares when they were too bad to

workout, however, they neglected to tell me that even though they put

it on hold, I still pay the monthly contract fee...so what good does

it do to put it on hold? Plus, the trainer was a bit too rigid for

me... and I would love to have the facilit strictly for the use of the

pool as the outside pools here...well, too much time in the heat for

me... we cannot just do a pool program and the gyms are quite high

here. Actually everything is high here, we have a really high cost of

living in Phoenix.

I am hoping you get some relief from all you are doing...it makes me

tired just reading the list!

Hugs-

Hi:

I used to be a big time exerciser, even though I hated it. I did weight

training

and was asked to compete in body building, but didn't. Now I really miss the

exercising, but have a hard time doing it. I'm working out on my Needak

bouncer now and even that hurts.

I've posted before and will again, but Dr. Lowe (www.drlowe.com) states that

90% of fibro is related to thyroid problems, undetected by blood tests. How

can you mind over matter a deficiency?
