I started with those and I thought quite good for low-impact. I've heard of them, but I reckon that I know how to walk, and a mile or so as a brisk pace in the fresh air will do me better than listening to a tape or watching a DVD... I managed 50 lengths of the pool today. Not been a good day, really. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! I mainly work out at night after my kids have gone to bed so DVDs work best for me. It isn't just straight walking...there are 4 basic moves plus low background music and some encouragement and occasional chatter from Leslie Sansone (the instructor) and the cast. I love swimming. I've had a crappy week and have been horrible with the exercise and eating over the last couple of days. I let stress get to me too much. I'm going to spend much quality time gardening this weekend to relieve the stress and get back on board after the weekend when I've regrouped. -- Tanukiki (mom of 2 wonderful boys) Pre-baby #2 weight 239 (in 2004) Started WW 01/21/06 Reached 10% 03/18/06 205.4/179.4/150 -- Leader of the Cult of Worshippers of BiPolar Long-Haired Sexy Anime Guys with Swords I think many of us will be gardening this weekend. Our weather is just perfect for it, 79-82, and I've been pulling out the old flowers all week. Also we raise a lot of vegetables and herbs. It's a great stress reliever. Audrey |

At the moment there are two bushes trying to meet in the middle right outside the back door! The last five weekends have been either occupied or we've been away! I'm thinking of holding a garden clearance party! -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Kate Dicey wrote: The fibro means I have to keep exercise as low impact as I can: thus the swimming is perfect and walking (no jogging, no running) the next best. Walking on rough land can be hard, but one doesn't always want to stick to paved paths and mown grass! As a kid I used to love gym and all forms of PE, and even played hockey for my school. Now that high impact stuff just results in flare ups and a higher level of pain that I can very easily live without! Kate, it is encouraging to hear from people who also experience exercise restrictions so to speak from their doctor. I still get frustrated that I am not supposed to be running at all- I try to remember that I am postponing/preventing surgeries, joint replacements later in life that way. For cardio, I'm really enjoying the exercises on my Push DVD, you might want to give it a try for a change of pace from swimming and walking, esp. because it can be customized to your needs. |

Work out ideas besides the gym
Hi
I have a total body workout that involves only using your own weight if you are interested I can email it to you. It can be done in the house and no equipment is required. for information Not Quite Ready for Prime Time wrote: I can't afford a gym membership right now, and to tell the truth aren't really a fan of the atmosphere at most gyms. I prefer to exercise at home, mainly because I feel very self-conscious. I live in a small apartment, so no room for equipment like treadmill, bike, elliptical. Any recommendations for good work outs? I am currently using a program called Push that gives you customized workout on DVD- a new DVD each month for $25/month. Is anyone else familiar with/using this? Would love to trade notes. |
