Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Hello all, does everyone here try to exercise? Well my doctor told me to start exercising to see if it would help things. I used to be very athletic a few years ago then stopped when I realized how good it felt just to sit at home on the couch! haha! Well after the dr told me to exercise I went to the gym at college and did 2.5 miles on the eliptical and 2 miles walking. I did this at a slow pace and stopped before I acctually felt tired. Well doing this I thought that I was taking it easy. Boy was I wrong! My body hurt me for days afterwards! Well after that incedent I took a few weeks off not wanting to hurt like that again and now I bought a yoga dvd. I just got done doing only 10 minutes of it and feel more tired than I did after I went to the gym. I couldn't even stay in " downward facing dog " for more than 2 minutes. This is rediculous. I dont know how I am soppose to start exercising if I get tired after just 10 minutes of yoga.. My dr said to try water arobics so I guess that will be my next challenge.. I will keep you all updated on that as soon as I get the nerves up to go to the local YMCA **************The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. Go to AOL Music.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 I started working out August of 2006. I do some floor stretches, some yoga and low impact cardio. In the beginning I just sat on the floor and stretched my legs, did some head/neck movements, and baby stepped each day from there. I added a few other stretches each week, with some yoga poses, sit ups for my abs, leg lifts to tone the rear a bit, and then I later added a walk-about inside the house. I started doing a 20 minute walk and I'd have two tv's on with my favorite soap, and I'd just pace the house for 20 minutes straight. Later I added my step aerobics bench and weeks later I added a light jog to the mix. I'm currently doing 2 days a week which is not my best, but this week I hope to do three workouts. Anyhow I hate working out, but feel fantastic right after. Plus I flare less as long as I keep it up, my immune system is stronger, and it has also helped my anxiety and depression by leaps and bounds. It's kind of a release of penned up emotions when I do my workout. Oh and hubby got me 2lb hand weights for Christmas so I am using those, before it was club soda bottles filled with water.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Oh I did mean to add, I still can't do downward facing dog right. I cannot put my heels flat on the floor, and it hurts!
