Avatar f tn Hi! I need some ideas on different resistance training I can do at home? Trying something new so any ideas are welcome! Thanks!
Avatar n tn If you don't have the mobility or endurance, exercising a few minutes several times a day is good. Walking, swimming and water aerobics are healthy low-impact exercises. Strength training, perform one to two sets of 10 to 15 repetitions of weight bearing exercises two to three times a week. If you don't have dumb bells then use resistance bands or machines. You can perform pushups against a wall and squats by sitting in a chair and then standing. You could join a yoga class.
Avatar n tn Strength exercises involve working the muscle against resistance. This can be either with or without weights. Resistance training strengthens the muscle and increases the amount of activity you can do pain-free. Conditioning exercise, also called aerobic exercise, improves cardiovascular fitness. There are countless benefits to aerobic exercise! Among them, it makes your heart and blood vessels healthier, prevents disability, and improves mood and well-being.

427265 tn?1444076436 I haven't been able to formally work out during tx but cleaning the house top to bottom once a week is a pretty good workout. Cardiovascular, weight training, resistance training, it's all there. I have lost some muscle but not nearly as much had I not been active.
Avatar n tn You can easily do circuit training workouts at home or at the gym on your own. Workouts last 30 to 45 minutes each and use either dumbbells, resistance bands or just your own body weight as a resistance. You're doing a series of exercises one after another in a circuit without taking any breaks in between the exercises. You will do both weight training exercises such as pushups, situps and squats, and aerobic exercises such as jumping jacks, jumping rope and burpees.
Avatar n tn Would it be doing reps of putting the wrist in flexion with resistance or extension with resistance? Or both perhaps? I also noticed ulnar deviation is weak on that wrist.. could that be linked to pain in push ups or is that unlikely? Thanks for any advice!
Avatar f tn When you say that you work out a few days a week, is it cardio only? If so, try doing 20 minutes of strength training before your cardio workouts. What happens when we get older is that we lose muscle mass, which makes the metabolism slow even more. Don't change your current workouts, but add that strength training--look up tutorials on youtube on squats, lunges, biceps curls, tricep kickbacks, back rows, (female) pushups, chest presses, planks, crunches, etc.
739070 tn?1338603402 I am doing resistance bands and other stretches as well as Pilates. Perhaps a little weight bearing/training with small weights might be beneficial. I'm game for anything at this point!
1551655 tn?1294260921 I agree with Dr. Beckerman. For 53 years, my exercise has been "free" and I am at the low end of my healthy weight range. Jogging, walking, race-walking, exercising at home (I use books with callisthenics and weight bearing exercises) are all free. Books can be found low cost at bookstores or used bookstores and even on eBay. A jumprope is a helpful way to get QUICK cardio exercise, but work up slowly.
Avatar m tn I am aware that you should not do heavy weight lifting with an ascending aortic aneurysm but what about resistance bands? It gives a pretty decent upper body workout but not sure it causes a spike in blood pressure. I would think it would be similar to rowing. Any thoughts?
Avatar n tn I work with people who use wheel chairs to get around and have picked up exercising tips from them. What works well is resistance bands. You could wrap one under your chair to work out your upper body or use things around the house for the bands. There is also a cardio machine (not sure what its called) thats like a bike but you basically pedal with your hands. It gets your heart pumping for sure!
Avatar f tn Your main problem probably isn't exercise, it's your diet -- fat in the belly and thighs suggests you're eating too much simple carbohydrate, such as sugar, white flour, and the like. When we consume a diet that is too high in foods that metabolize quickly into sugar, it usually stores as fat in the belly area first. As for exercise, any exercise will help, as it will increase your energy output and burn off more of what you're eating.
Avatar m tn Nearly ruined from years of misuse and clenching, but fighting my way back. Resistance training with bands is part of it too.
Avatar n tn I just got into weight training but I dint know how to eat right. Can someone please guide me and show me a plan for teens or something.HELP.
Avatar f tn Stretching isn't the best way to improve flexibility—lifting weights through a full range of motion is, according to a recent study at the University of North Dakota. Pausing for 2 to 3 seconds at the "down" position of the lift (where you feel the stretch) without relaxing your muscles is even more effective.
Avatar f tn Better to lose it now than later. I would imagine that if you incorporate resistance training in your exercise regimen you can work on that, but know that once you do resistance training and gain muscle, you have to maintain it or it will turn into loose skin. Look.
Avatar f tn I have no idea :-) Hi Msajones, I think the real questions are 1) Did he successfully extract your spinal fluid? 2) How do you feel today?
Avatar m tn I like the idea of gentle stretching of yoga... Resistance exercises could be done sitting on the floor with one of those elastic bands. I think if I could cycle laying on my back and using just my legs that might work.

Tbd Yes, you can do weight lifting. I am in the same boat and I can say that do strength training slowly - build up your weight resistance slowly AND incorporate physical activity like walking or jogging (not running at first) before you begin weight training. Give yourself 6 weeks of walking or jogging and push ups first. Then add a weight resistance work out. Your body will be better primed to add weights. Also, do some detox to help reduce weight.
