Janick,

you can modify Tae-Bo and do it from a chair and slowly like Tai Chi

no matter what is causing your problem, gentle motion will help keep the

joints lubricated and healing circulation flowing

who is glad Janick is feeling better

Janick,

Now we did not forget you!

I'm glad you can start exercising again. Sorry that your haivng to go through

all this crap though. I hate medical tests, especially inconclusive medical

tests, don't you?

Do you have access to a heated pool? Swimming can be a great no impact exercise.

Then you can go and jump in a hot tub immediatly afterwards.

Keep us updated!!!

Hugs,

<< Maybe you all forgot about me, but I'm still alive. Feeling a bit

better actually...

My thyroid gland medication is already helping a bit with the fatigue

and depression part. My face has started swelling down a bit, as well

as my legs. I have a little bit more energy than I did a few weeks

ago, and the hoarseness of my voice is slowly disappearing.

As far as my arthritis problem, well it is 95% better now (and I even

stopped taking the anti-inflammatory drugs). However, I have lost

some function (for which the rhumatologist cannot say of my left wrist

which is still a little swollen and stiff. I seem to have a bursitis

also in my right shoulder. My middle and fourth fingers of my right

hand are still a little swollen, enough so that I cannot wear my rings

anymore. My knees and ankles are also stiff, especially in the

morning and also in the evening. The rhumatologist is still

suspicious that this could be a beginning of rheumatoid arthritis, and

that time (and results of blood work) will tell.

Meanwhile, I can start excercising again when I have the physical

strength to do so, but this exercise has to be mild and not be a

strain on my joints. I guess that means that taebo is out of the

question, at least for now...

Well that's it for me, hope everyone is having a great week

Janick,

Tae-Bo Gold is just as fast and tough as any other Tae-Bo workout.

If you do a workout in 1/2 or even 1/4 time and concentrate on contracting

and stretching your muscles, it will be strength training as well as

stretching

who prefers to do Tae-Bo at half time and concentrating on the muscles and

form

I am so glad you are feeling better! I hope your doctor's are able to

give you a diagnosis soon, but it sounds like you are on the road to

recovery Take care of yourself!!

Actually, I was thinking more in the lines of strength training with

weights to get back some muscle tissue (these last months of almost

inactivity have made my muscles atrophy a bit). because of my lack of

imagination (which is secondary to my thyroid dysfunction), I don't

know if I could actually engage of modification of regular tapes. I

guess that the best thing for me would be the taebo gold tape. What

do you think??

finding a routine

Thanx for the advice Barb! Won't have time (literally) to workout

until this weekend though. I still can't manage sleeping under 9

hours a night, so my spare time is extremely limited!!

Janick,

I'm so glad that things are looking better for you! Good luck

getting back into an exercise routine! I'm so glad that you are

emotionally stronger these days and hopefully, you will continue to

get stronger physically, as well
