I did Yoga!!!!

I told her to be gentle with me since I was having issuess still coming off the Cymbalta and my vision is blury and I am having dizziness issues and I have a cold right now too.

We did it for an hour and a half and I have to say it was a lot of fun and she was gentle and it did help me a lot. Helped with the IBS issue last night LOL and it helped me to sleep pretty darn good. We are going to do it twice a week right now and keep an eye out for a class too. I figured that I would go to the gym three days a week, yoga two times a week and then two days of rest.

Right now I am trying to figure out how to afford a hot tub even without the heater on full blast to be able to soak in warm water would be great wihout having to fit into my tiny bathtub.

It sounds like your sister knows what she is doing and went at your pace especially with a cold, dizziness etc.  I also love working out and I find that it helps with the stiffness and pain....its just that we have to pace ourselves. 

I know what you mean about a hot tub, wish I had one too.  Right now I have the bedbuddy and that will have to do

Gina a bed buddy is for hot or cold therapy.  It is long and you can stick it in the microwave or freezer and put it on sore muscles, aches and pains.  You can get it at bed bath and beyond or online.  They also have gloves and booties but I haven't found them at a store yet.  May have to get them online.  Funny I need a body pillow!  For some reason if I over do it during the day...I hurt when I try and sleep. 

I also was recommended yoga and I have done it with the excercise program I do but that was my hard day because my body doesn't like when I hold the positions too long.  My wrists, arms and hands etc start burning and not in a good way...lol.  I can do cardio and weights and its "easier" on my body. 

puppylover....good idea to split the workouts up.  I tend to workout in the morning then spend the rest of the day doing household chores and errands etc.  I also spend alot of time with my dogs...Labs   4 of them...lol.  I always try to pace myself throughout the day.  I think I may try a gentle stretch tonight though and see if that helps the aches before bed.
