Avatar n tn I'm 17 weeks into an exercise program to recover from being pretty deconditioned. Starting out with 10 minute walks, and now I walk 30 minutes or go 20 minutes on my elliptical trainer every day. My resting heart rate has dropped from mid 80s to low 70s, and anxiety or mild exertion doesn't send my heart rate above 100 like it used to. But the last couple weeks, I've noticed that my heart rate has been going up more rapidly on the elliptical trainer.
Avatar n tn I am having a hard time finding out about recovering from a deconditioned state. Information on the web about exercise is geared either to young athletic people or to elderly people recovering from health problems. My only health concern is that my doctor says my heart is slightly enlarged but still in the "normal" range -- that is the context of my question, some concern about possible heart problems.
Avatar f tn I need to find a moderate- intermediate exercise program while I'm pregnant. I'm nine weeks today. And I'm already showing... I'd really like to keep the weight gain healthy instead of excessive. If anyone knows where I can find a program like that let me know. Thank you!
11360622 tn?1417799519 My cat is 11 years old. I would like to get her to exercise more because I know it is important to a cat's health. Do you have any suggestions on how to get an older cat to move more while not hurting them?
Avatar f tn People think that since Medicare covers medical services for people over 65, it also pays for nursing home care for elderly people. Medicaid is thought of as a poverty program that provides medical coverage to poor families. But Medicaid is the program that provides long-term care to the elderly and disabled, which accounts for 31 percent of the program's $400 billion annual federal and state spending. Most of the nation's 1.

Avatar f tn I used to do a similar style of circuit class but once I found out I was pregnant., my doctor said to stick to low-moderate intensity exercise particularly for the first trimester. To be honest I've been too tired to even think about doing those classes!
Avatar n tn I'm 53 and have been trying to get more conditioned after a couple years of really being a couch potatoe. I walk for about 20 minutes every day, which is pretty minimal activity. I had a stress echo-cardiogram a year ago and checked out just fine, but I'm very deconditioned right now. I recently bought an elliptical trainer (a Lifefitness 9500). I find that after 3 minutes on level 1, my legs are burning and my heart rate is about 145 or even 150.

Avatar f tn As stated in the above post, do be sure and check with your doctor before beginning ANY type exercise program.
Monkey Absolutely! Any exercise where your heart rate rises over 100 will be beneficial. Try to keep you heart rate elevated for at least 30 minutes 3-5 times peer week. Please consult your physician if you have any chronic medical problems. You will find that by dropping your calories to under 1800 calories per day you will be more successful at your weight loss. For most people they need to walk 35 miles to lose 1 lb of fat--possibly shorter for bike riding but not by much.
1436330 tn?1284666036 Hello, about one year ago I to did the iop. It was a great program the only bad thing for me was when I heard some of the stories I thought to myself "well I'm not that bad" although I didn't use while I was there 8 am to 5pm. When I got in the car I took one half of a hydrocodone when Before I was takin 3/4 a day, so I made it thu the program but a few months later I was up to 6 a day! Now a year later I hate it that I didn't try harder!
Avatar m tn Now, about 3 weeks into my new exercise program, I am starting to get palpitations during the day, while sitting at my computer. I also sometimes feel them when I'm starting a walk, however, it seems that once I warm up a bit, I don't feel them anymore. It actually seems like the only time lately I'm not feeling occasional palpitations is when I'm in the middle of a walk.
655875 tn?1295695107 I was wondering about the 10,000 steps exercise program, but I'm a little confused. I was watching Dr. Oz(however, I'm not a fan) talk to this lady aout the 10,000 steps program. He stated that the 10,000 steps needed to take place at least twice a week in the same day. This sounds interesting to me, but I physically can not take the 10,000 steps without going into unbearable pain if it is done all at once.
398059 tn?1447945633 Elderly people in a new study cut their risk of falling by more than half after they took classes in eurhythmics, an exercise-and-music program designed for young children... Even after the classes ended, the participants maintained their improvements in balance, walked with a more regular gait and were better able to walk while doing other things." FWIW, when I went to PT, they gave me exercises to try to retrain my vestibular system that, while not miraculous, were helpful.
Avatar m tn Your feeling that your breathing has returned to baseline normal is important but should not alone, be relied upon to make the decision to return to your full exercise program. In addition, even should all the preceding be favorable, it would be wise to resume exercise with a low-level program and increase it over 1-2 weeks, in a stepwise fashion, every 2-3 days. If still unsure that all is well, check with your asthma doctor.
Avatar f tn Just wanted to update you guys on how my exercise program is going. I have been meeting with a personal trainer now for two months, twice a week for about 45 minutes. I have had NO major setbacks so far!!! She happens to also be a nurse, so I felt less anxious about working with her. She was unfamiliar with Dysautonomia, POTS, but researched it so that she would understand my condition(s). Needless to say, she was nervous about working with me and saw me (as I did) as fragile.
483733 tn?1326798446 While playing the waiting game to hear how they are going to treat my issues, is it OK to exercise? I'm not a normally active (exercise wise) person. I don't want to do anything that would cause cysts to burst or twist. What do you think?
Avatar f tn Someone who is in shape can exercise vigorously, but somebody who has not been getting any real exercise will need to start out with an easier program. Somebody in between can work out at a moderate pace. Everybody should exercise a minimum of 3 days a week to make any gains at all, and it really takes at least four to see fast results. Once the heart is in shape and the body muscles are used to a light program you can step it up to something more moderate.
Avatar f tn I know it is too early (1 week post op), but looking forward, has any found a relaxing exercise program? My first thoughts were yoga, swim, or Zumba. I kook forward to trying something when the time is right. Thanks!
Avatar f tn Is your father on medication? Your father should get some physical exercise...is there an exercise routine associated with the Senior Center visits?
1646836 tn?1301430573 See your doctor before you start any exercise program. If you haven't worked out in a while (or ever) start with a walking program of about 20 to 30 minutes, 3 days a week. Every day, ask yourself how you will make your life healthier. It can be as simple as drinking more water or parking farther away from the front door.
Avatar n tn One of the reasons this is possible is because of the new program for obtaining medical degrees. You collect two thousand boxtops from a popular breakfast cerial, eat thirty five hot-dogs consecutavely (this is a times exercise) and must obtain a written recommendation from the Dahli Lahma.
Avatar n tn My last period was about 3 months ago. I also have been on a diet and exercise program for abou 8 months and have lost about 35 lbs. I do aerobic exercise 4-5 days a week for 30-45 minutes. I have spotting after exercising. It ususally is very light. Should I be concerned.
