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 n tn A normal resting heart rate is 60-80, but there's flexibility in those numbers. As for standing heart rate - I think it would depend on the person. 120 is probably too high, 50 is probably too low.

Avatar f tn 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. It also gives an alternative set of exercises to do, actually demonstrated by one of the women on the dvd, that are not quite as strenuous. It was around $15 on amazon. I have also seen dvds specific to MS patients' needs. You might want to look at those, too.
Avatar n tn I had one night with nausea and a cold sweat, then one time feeling winded after climbing the stairs. This is my second time around and I actually recognised those symptoms from last time! No morning sickness for me, thankfully - friends of mine aren't so lucky, I enjoy that fact quietly to myself ;) There's tons of advice I could give but the big ticket item is YOGA. So good.
Avatar f tn You need to burn 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound, so with three one-hour Zumba sessions a week, you should lose at least 1 pound in a little over two weeks or almost 2 pounds a month. If you dance Zumba for one hour a day and eat 500 calories a day less than you need to maintain your weight, you should lose 2 pounds weekly or 8 pounds a month. This is a fast, but healthy rate of weight loss. Losing weight any faster means you're losing muscle instead of fat.
Avatar m tn I still suffer from excruciating cramp in my feet. 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 remember that once I had a sprain in the cervicals that was accompanied with a slight hernia in the opposite side at the same level of the heart! In other words when you experience an isolated pull in some section of tour body normally comes with some dysfunction in other parts of your body. This are likely to be temporary though. My recommendation is: Stretch. Lie down on the floor and bring both knees to tour chest and breath. Second stretch.
Avatar m tn I have flexibility issues in almost all of my joints (Knees, elbow, wrist, ankle). Coincidentally, all the joints in the right side of my body are worse. I cannot squat as the back of my feet cannot touch my butt, my hand cannot touch my shoulder, cannot do pushup as wrist will hurt a lot. I have done xrays but doctor said my xrays are fine. Went through physiotherapy but joints flexibility does not improve no matter how much i stretched.
Avatar f tn If you are aiming at losing weight, it is important to calculate your current BMI and the target BMI. The target BMI should be in a healthy range. For exercises you could start with the easy ones such as walking, sprinting running etc. A balanced physical workout should rotate between various activities such as cycling, swimming, jogging, gymming etc. Aside indulging in moderate amounts of physical exercise it is also essential to maintain a healthy diet plan.
Avatar f tn Hi I'm 14 last year I was 11 stone a couple of months ago I decided to lose some weight so far I've lost a stone and a couple of pounds the most I wanna weigh Is 9 stone so I need to lose another stone I've lost weight before by going on 3 hour long walks in the morning and night and eating 1500 calories a day.
Avatar f tn Fluids are easier to ingest after a vigorous workout than solid food and can be easily carried in a gym bag. Carbohydrate sports recovery drinks are available in powder form and pre-mixed liquids. Drinking a glass of fruit juice is another carbohydrate drink that is absorbed quickly and easily digested. Carbohydrate-Protein Drinks Adding protein to your carbohydrate recovery drink can speed recovery time while helping to rebuild damaged muscle tissue. John M.
