exercise benefits in the winter

Walking is the safest exercise and it works your whole body and I think would help you a lot. Wear a helmet for goodness sakes, and find a place to walk. Around here people go to malls to walk when the weather is bad. Otherwise they go to the kind of parks where there is a paved path. Get somebody to go with you. Everybody benefits from walking. Wear clothing that will make you stand out so bikers won't hit you. Stay over on the walking side.

Forgive me if this is the wrong forum, but the exercise forum didn't seem to be where I wanted to discuss this. I'm a 52 year old male. I have had various health problems for a few years. I haven't worked for a year now, and it will be six months or a year before I can. I have MVP, very mild two years ago and not rechecked. I've had issues with tachacardia in the past and just stopped Toprol XL after taking it for a bit over two years.

SAD lights are full spectrum lights since they emit full spectrum of light waves. These can have benefits in seasonal affective disorder and restore normal sleeping patterns by simulating daytime and nighttime and reduces stress. There are other full spectrum lamps to combat jet lag, etc. usually these are safe, but some side effects are known. These are headaches, insomnia, eye strain. Discuss with your doctor if you are having rise in temperature with its usage.

My son goes thru this a lot in the winter with Arthritis.. Different weather change's act's it up...But I believe it's just our age,,I'm 37 and my back is doing the same thing...And never had back problems..

If you eat healthy and have a moderately normal metabolic rate one can skip a few days in between or exercise every alternate day or so. One can exercise indoor as well and activities need not be aggressive outdoor ones. Hope this helps. Take care!

Keep weather in mind. In the summer, you would only need a light sheet or blanket, in the winter, heavier blankets are necessary to keep you comfy. Again, back to the senses...if you create a bed that keeps you too hot or too cold, that will interfere with your sleep. Keep a glass or bottle of water at your bedside, in case you awaken with that dry mouth and need for a drink. This way you don't have to get out of bed to get something to drink.

I'm not sure what time is bad for me, since I was diagnosed in may. I know now that summer is not good for me (I'm not allergic to any grass or stuff, I'm allergic to the smell of them). I've been out of breath for about 2 weeks (heat wave). I'm not good at all with humidity, exercise, perfums, molds, and illness (that's all I know for now), so I'm pretty scared about winter (I'm always sick in the winter). I guess I'll just have to see.

Does anyone know of a good source of information i can get a hold of for continuing weight training during the first trimester of pregnancy? I know there are benefits and want to do it properly. Background: I want to TTC again after my miscarriage and I am currently walking five days a week and weight training three days a week.

1st thing in the morning, after exercise, or after being confined/in the same position (like on an airplane, sitting at the movies, or sitting for long at work), my legs don't comply at first when I go to get up. It usually gets better with a little time and motion. I also sometimes get the sensation that cold water is running through my veins as I take steps and have other sensory nonsense going on in my lower limbs.

Inga, you have discovered one of the most unsung benefits of having animal companions. Distraction is a big tool in the pain management toolbox and our pets serve that function as nothing else can. Dogs in particular are great at reading our energy and responding to it. I can't tell you the number of times I've had to hit the bed in the middle of the day and been turned into a dog sandwich by my two fur-kids. LOL! A word of caution about dogs though.

Hi there - I'm so sorry you are feeling bad right now. Stopping the pills WAS the right thing to do, even though it doesn't feel like that at this moment. The anxiety and depression are common after coming off the opiates. It is usually a temporary thing that will come and go; eventually fading more as the days go on. Can you get outside, get some fresh air and some exercise; even a short walk?

Good for you for discontinuing the antidepressants! Medication, as you know, can cause all sorts of unpleasant side effects that can last months after discontinued use. The good news is the body knows how to rebuild and renew its organs and I've had enough experience of this to know what is possible. Drinking Aloe Vera Gel (sold at health food stores) helps soothe and heal the intestine and assist the bowels' movement through. Drink this on a empty stomach a couple times a day.

i have one and it helps me with my pressure i have going on and so it helps it, and it could also helps get baby into position for birth when the up coming weeks are coming. so it helps baby get of your nerves in your back and pelvis.

I'm from Iowa. Its winter. I need some exercise ideas. I'm almost 15 wks. Wanted to wait till after 1st trip. The issues that I have is that I have bilateral club foot. I used to run 6 miles a day in til my ankles started acting up. I'll be so sore from being on my feet the day before that it brings me to tears the next day. Need ideas of what I can do until snow is gone and I can ride bike.

I understand the fact, that one cannot be in the sun during tx and the more sunscreen one uses the less vitamin d one can get from the sun anyways. So yes, one should take supplements, if one cannot get adequate sun exposure due to any reasons and also during all the months were there is no sun. What I was trying to point out is, that when one takes supplements, one should monitor ones levels, as one can end up overdosing and too high levels of vitamin d can become dangerous, too.

How does pelvic exercise work or how is it done, I have seen a lot of women get the advice but have no idea how they're done.

One thing I have noticed over the years is that my depression seems to be triggered by the change in the seasons specifically Spring and Fall. Spring has sprung here in BC and I feel like I have been hit with a ton of bricks. Last fall I had the same experience and if I had a mood tracker back then I am sure I would see a similar pattern over the years. Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions on how to prepare yourself and get through it?

I've been on it for about a month now and even though it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know I find it helpful. I eat lots of healthy foods, exercise and focus on the positive rather than beating myself up for 'mistakes' like I would in the past. Haven't noticed a huge change on the scales but my clothes are starting to fit me better and I'm sticking with the visualizations which helps keep me motivated.

Start with warmups so your lungs can climatize and then build up your intensity. I find in the summer time I can run 10 km in 45 minutes and winter time it's no where near as good and so I tend to stick with 7 km instead. It is better to pace yourself and still get your exercise then none at all.

Anyway, point is, breastfeeding helps drop the pounds. Exercise and healthy eating will also help you get back in shape faster.

M just wondering now its winter and I like to rug up does the baby get hot in the womb ?
