Exercise!

1.Do you exercise? If so, what form of it?
I roller blade and feel fine while doing it, it's just when im finished i feel dizzy, maybe a little exhausted, and lightheaded.

Also, my body takes a long time to cool down. I feel flush for maybe an hour.

I do gentle stretching upon waking every morning and a couple times during the day.

Walking is my favorite exercise...in the winter, I'm a mall walker. During good weather I enjoy walking outdoors. If I'm somewhere with a warm pool. I take advantage and swim. I really need to work on my uppper body strength and do have a set of small hand weights and tension bands...now if I could only get back to using them :)

If I didn't exercise daily, I'd really be a mess :)

I have learned to walk my dog everyday. They are short walks, but we both benefit from them. I can see a big difference in his anxiety when walked daily and mine. Lol

I used to do step aerobics and cardio boxing. Unfortunately, I stopped exercising when my flare hit, and even though I feel better now, I've been too busy to get back into it. I'm looking to January to burn off some of this weight I put on, and kick it to my flare once and for all. Exercise is really so very important, even if it's just going for a walk. I am also gettign Zumba for the XBox for Christmas. I'm looking forward to dancing with my dd :) I do some yoga, but don't have much time. I would love to do more of it once I lose my weight, but right now cardio is more important to me.

I see a lot of us walk. I do too. Plus gentle stretching. I hope to cross country ski this winter. But the last few years, I haven't made it out there. But there is always that hope.

Exercise is good. I enjoy the walking.

Hugs to all,

I have recently joined a gym and go to the aquatic programs. They aggravate my upper back injury but I expect they will help with the fybro. Time will tell.
