Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi, I might have an excellent idea. Vigorous exercise has been crucial for my own recovery I found weight lifting helpful. Aerobic activity is the best, but running is really boring and not easy for me, I'm too short (and old) to be very happy in basketball, etc... But, Ultimate Frisbee is something EVERYONE can play, even youngsters, if the group places emphasis on fun and isn't too competitive. It really brings the body into a good shape and accelerates the elimination of toxins, no doubt... just a thought - I have photos/videos of our own team at http://thailandinphotos.com thanks, alan > > > > > > Hi all.
