Avatar f tn In the beginning of my pregnancy I did cycling and swimming. I also did a lot of stretches on the exercise ball.
Avatar f tn Do u workout now? U can pretty much stay in the same routine u just will have to modify things as u get further along. U just don't want to start something new. I did a lot of swimming and cycling in the beginning of this pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Warming up with gentle stretching can help get your body ready for your workout. Gentle stretches such as side bends, shoulder shrugs, arm circles, overhead stretches, and bending to reach (but not touch) your toes are all good warm-up exercises. Do three to five repetitions of each. If you are swimming or walking, you can also warm up with a slower swim or walk. If you have OA in your knees or hips, you want to avoid any jolting exercise like jogging that causes your feet to pound the ground.
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 f tn It has the correct stretches for every sport. Your shin pain and plantar fasciitis may be related. When your shin hurts you may be adjusting your movement and huring your heel. Once you have the right shoes, both conditions will be helped by stretching.
Avatar f tn Go swimming! Even if you walk laps it feels so good to feel weightless. I'm 23 weeks with twins and measuring 39 weeks and I just started swimming last week. I was basically just lying on the couch for 5 months, even after a week I feel so much better...like I'll actually be strong enough to have these babies! Give it a shot, it's so worth it.
Avatar n tn In cerebral palsy, the adductor muscles sometimes tighten up and some have surgery to cut them. Swimming is a non-surgical option that helps flexibility.
Avatar f tn I have tension built up in my right leg most likely due to my sedantry job from the hip joint to calf muscle. In deeper yoga stretches this leg shakes terribly. Otherwise too while walking, taking stairs or during simple stretches I feel discomfort.

Avatar f tn Prenatal water aerobics or just swimming in general is easy and feels good
Avatar f tn I am going to describe some neck stretches that really helped keep my neck pain down when I went to PT. I also do them now that PT is over. One: Put your right hand behind your back up between your shoulder blades. Lean your head to the right as far as you can with your ear toward your shoulder. Try to keep looking forward as you do this. Hold for a count of 20. Do the same with the left arm and lean to the left side. Do this about 5 times on each side.
Avatar f tn Certain stretches like kneeling down then 'walk' your hands forward gradually until you've stretched out your spine. I also found swimming helped mine. I got it very bad last month but I went swimming three times a week now I don't have it. Just try not to sit in the same position for a long time because that makes it worse.
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 walking is the best, yoga, swimming, squats. Just go slow at first if you haven't exercised in a while.
Avatar f tn what othet low impact work outs are safe for me to be doing? My back kinda ***** and I'm obviously worse for wear. I just want whatever is best for this lil' gal on the way.
7136384 tn?1390142888 I want to start working out and do stretches and stuff to stay fit. Also, i wanted to go swimming in chlorine pool is that safe ?
Avatar m tn (exercise bike, and stretches), you could end up damaging and tearing muscles and tendons, which you do not want. Same for singing. It is important to do "warm up" exercises to gently loosen up the vocal chords before starting to sing using the full vocal range. Again, damage can be caused to the vocal chords if these are strained. Pilates was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, a physical-culturist from Mönchengladbach, Germany.
Avatar n tn m sitting at my desk and stretching my arms back. It stretches my back/upper torso and arms, but when I do it I seem to hold my breathe a bit and it causes a very intense pain on the very top of my head. The intensity goes down after a few moments and then a small headache lingers from a few minutes to a few hours. I don't try to hold my breathe though and I don't hold the stretch for more than a few seconds.
Avatar f tn So, I just had my first prenatal yoga class and it was amazing. The stretches helped my lower back soooo much. I highly recommend it!
Avatar f tn What stretches do u suggest? 2nights back I was struggling to climb on my bed Mom had to come and assist my tummy still small haven't showed yet this is my 1st child I'm 28 am I too old maybe for 1st born maybe?
Avatar f tn Exercise is great, but not running. Squats, walking, swimming, simple stretches, it should all be low impact.
9126885 tn?1404418392 Hot bubble bath! Massage and try doing some yoga & stretches every day if you're anything like me it works wonders!! Also made falling asleep so much easier.
Avatar n tn Perform yoga or stretches after each exercise session to improve your flexibility and reduce your risk of soreness and injuries. Stretching helps to elongate your muscles to give your legs a leaner appearance. No excess sodium and improve your diet to reduce water retention. Your knees and other areas appear larger when you carry excess water. Cut out processed meat, table salt, salty snack foods, canned foods and most frozen dinners.
