So for the millionth time, I am attempting to really get my physical body in check. I feel like once that happens, the mind will follow. I really don't like cardio-intense exercises, so I'm going to hone in on my muscle strengthening and toning. I bought a kettle bell and a yoga mat and will start by doing at least 15-30 minutes a day of that type of stuff and try to incorporate some light cardio (walking, hiking, maybe jogging). I've done this for the past few days and although I am sore, I feel great.

Does anyone else notice that the more they exercise, the heart palps seem to go away?

I don't get heart palps but I do suffer from a lot of health anxiety. When I exercise and eat properly I feel better about myself and my mind doesn't go to bad places as much.

Oh I'm like you! I'm so not a fan of cardio, but whenever I do any sort of exercise I feel better. I take yoga once a week and Pilates once a week and on and off I try and hit the treadmill. The treadmill for sure helps with the palps!! Good luck! It is so hard to stick to when you just don't enjoy...

Hi

Well done on getting back into exercise I feel it is one of the best ways to help you reach recovery so keep it up if you can and i'm sure you will see the benefits.

I try to stick with exercise, but you know... lol

It really does help my HP, and it just gets the blood flowing, so it helps everything. We've had 45 days of storms and rains, so getting outside hasn't really been an option. My treadmill is broken, so the only thing I've been able to accomplish is my stretching moves I learned in PT.

Last night, hubs and I walked Jake down the street a couple of blocks and back. That felt good after a heavy meal of Mexican food. :)

Good for you for trying to stick with something. I'm trying too. Maybe all of us who are trying can keep each other encouraged.

Awesome Job, I'm so proud of you. Exercise is something I need to do more of, but with my back and fibro I hurt all the time, and walking even a quarter of mile is hard on me, but I'm going to try to start walking more and getting back where I can walk at least a mile a day. Keep up the great work.
