Re: Rita's diet and exercise

[Guest guest]

Rita,

When I first started walking on the treadmill, I could hardly go for any

length of time at all. After the short walk I had to lie down and rest. In

fact for the first month I had to take a nap for an hour or so after

walking, because I was so out of shape from being sedentary that I thought I

would die. Sometimes after the walk I thought I would die, too. My wife

even worried that she thought I was about to die, too. I persisted in

walking the treadmill for an entire month before I got to the point where I

did not require a nap afterwards. It was hard going at first, and I was

sorely tempted to just quit on many ocasions, because I felt so bad, tired

and exhausted.

Keep peddling from now on. It will get better in a few weeks, and you will

have much more energy and feel better in about three months or so. I use my

walking time to meditate while I am walking, and I feel good about that.

Peddling will certainly give you an excellent aerobic workout and it will

not cause any damage to your joints in your knees and hips.

I now walk for 42 minutes without stopping, and afterwards I rest for about

four or five minutes sitting in a chair, then I am good to go with lots of

energy.

You are doing great, and I admire your persistence. If you are breaking a

sweat, you are doing it right!

I like to break a good sweat and after a very short rest take a shower,

which is very refreshing.

Your legs will get stronger in the near future, and they may not even feel

sore any more. At first my legs felt sore the next day after a walk, but I

do not have this feeling hardly ever any more.

The legs are quick to gain strength and endurance. Just remember to allow

your muscles recovery time from one exercise session to the other, which

usually takes from two to three days in most folks. When you no longer

feel any soreness in your muscles, then the muscles have recovered and ready

for more stress. Exersion, rest and recovery are the three elements

required in building more strength and endurance.

Keep up the good stuff!

will be feeling great and have lost some weight. One day at a time though and do

not be to hard on yourself. That is important.

how is this for a subject line?

I am discovering and in some cases rediscovering foods I hadn't had in

years.

I do love turnip greens. I am guessing not too high in carbs.

I bought some fresh parsley and went on and bought two heads of

caulyflower. Am having a bit of fun preparing these things over the

higher carb ones.

Am peddling but sure not up to any speed or time yet. My legs are so weak

from being down right sedentary!

Oh Harry this is encouraging for sure. I have weak muscles and well yes,

weak will power too. Just now though it is the muscles .

Growth of strength is time consuming. I want balance and a sense of well

being TODAY!

Hahahahahaha

Just blink your eyes and every thing will be just fine.

I want you to be balanced and be just right to day, too!

I hate having to exercise, but I only work on the muscles I want to get

strong.

I am reminded about the sign I saw in my dentist's office, which made a

believer out of me. It said:

You don't have to floss your teeth;

Only the ones you want to keep.
