Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 The benefits as it all comes together is worth the patience in waiting for your body to heal and get back on track.... When I was ready to start exercising again I felt soo lame going through the motions, no resistance, just stretches and movements until my body was limber enough, stretched enough, blood flowing enough to begin resistance again. I was a body builder before my thyroid went whacky... I worked out four hours a day, 7 days a week and then had a 50 to 60 hour a week job on top of it.... To go from that to someone that came up with a 'bedxercise' routine still feels pretty lame.... but darn it... those stupid stretches and simple routine over time got me back to doing some decent resistance work and I can haul my own groceries again!!! I takes time, it all depends on how run down your body is.... but stuff gets better... The hardest part, I think, is getting carried away and over doing it... We injure easier and heal slower... I don't think it's wise, at least for me, to follow the 'no pain, no gain' rule.... I'm a firm believer in baby steps getting us farther, faster...
