Avatar n tn Does anyone know of gentle exercises to get my stamina up? I have bad knees, and rheumatoid arthritis in my back so I'm not super flexible. Want to get extra weight off to help improve health...
Avatar n tn To achieve aerobic benefits and promote weight loss, you should exercise hard enough so that you can speak a few words but not carry on a conversation. Do squats, lunges, side lunges, calf raises, scissors, the bicycle exercise and rear leg raises or donkey kicks to strengthen your legs and tone fat knees.
Avatar n tn Whole body vibration is a no-impact, low-intensity exercise that can help you improve your body composition--that means less fat and more muscle--and has other health benefits too. It has also been shown to increase bone density. In fact, astronauts use WBV to protect against the bone and muscle loss they experience in the micro-gravity environment of space. I hope that helps.

Avatar n tn Stretching the front and back or your leg to increase the flexibility in your knee. Perform stretching exercises at the end of your workout when your muscles are warm. Stretch the front of your leg in a standing position by bending your knee and raising your foot up toward your backside. Grasp the ankle with your hand to enhance the stretch. Stretch the back of your legs in a seated position with your legs extended on the floor. Fold forward over your straight legs to stretch your hamstrings.

Avatar m tn Over the last 2 years I have built up the muscles in my feet and have increased flexibility with daily stretches and exercises but still suffer from painful cramp in my arches and toes. It seems to occur when my toes are pointed for long periods of time as I tend to tense my feet quite hard.

Avatar m tn I have been sore right around both of my gluteus Maximus muscles since December. The muscle is very tight and seems to be restricting the movement of my lower lumbar. It's uncomfortable to sit even for short periods of time as there is a dull pain from my glutes down the back of my legs. I have been to a spinal PT and I temporarily felt better but not much. He focused only on my spine and said my movement was very limited for a 27 year old.
Avatar f tn I have a problem with chronic pain in my left shin and have had bouts with plantar fastitis. Suddenly by shoe inserts to support my high arches feel awful. What are the right exercises and what else can I do?
Avatar f tn Hi Les, welcome to the forum here. Idon't believe we have crossed paths yet - or at least that's what my faulty memory is telling me. Not knowing your personal situation it is a bit hard to offer suggestions that might work for you. I have one that I like that is Women's Health Total Workout in Ten! It is broken into ten minute segments- cardio, upper body, lower body and flexibility/balance. You can pick out the routine that you want to work on or do them all.
Avatar f tn Strong mental health is tied to strong physical health and makes it possible for people to maintain productive social relationships and reach personal goals. Be aware of attitudes and thought processes and challenging those that are negative by changing and redirecting them to more positive outlets. Other strategies including showing appreciation for positive events and circumstances, focusing on activities you enjoy and constantly working to enhance your quality of life.
Avatar f tn If her/his motivations are honest and he/she benefits from breathing exercises...great. It might also relieve stress which can make blood sugar higher. But people, do NOT believe this is a cure for diabetes. No one thing will keep blood sugar under control and there IS no cure yet. For Type 2 diabetes the key is a combination of exercise, controlling carb intake and oral meds or insulin if recommended by your doctor.
Avatar m tn ve been diligent with my physical therapy and I have full flexibility in the leg. I can bend the leg at the knee and I can fully extend it. I can put weight on the leg and the doctor no longer requires me to wear the surgical boot. I still need to use a cane or crutches to get around. How long does it take for the tibia fracture to fully heal, and is there anything I can do to quicken the healing process on my own other than exercises and physical therapy? Thank you.
Avatar m tn Usually the main predictors of aortic dissection are family history, aortic size, and aortic flexibility. For someone of your aortic size, I would take it easy. Try the ARB approach with a max or ultra-max high dosage (as long as your doctor lets you) and see if that reduces aortic size and aortic flexibility (the "pulse pressure" is one way to estimate the flexibility - Google it). If so, then perhaps you can talk to your doctor about athletics.
Avatar n tn Intuitively, I feel it is due to reduced blood flow to the organ and might help if you do some pelvic exercises to promote better blood flow .Food items which provide your daily quota of Vitamin E and zinc should generally be helpful. Some yoga exercises like ' Padmasana ' ( Google for details) combined with deep breathing exercises will promote blood flow to the penis. What ever you do, do it in consultation with your doctor and for Yoga exercises, learn it from an instructor.
