Avatar f tn I have read many documents online from various clinics and hospitals and they all differ enormously in their perception of recover time and recommendation for physical activity. I have been trying to listen to my body but it's speaking a language I don't understand. I am experiencing pain still--my left side where the incision is produces occasional sharp pains and is sore. It hurts there when I sneeze or laugh. Right now I am experiencing a constant pain in that area.
Avatar n tn He lives and breathes and socializes with his weight training and was looking forward to doing club rowing in college, he starts college soon. He has ADHD so physical activity is good for his mental focus. I'm concerned about the impact of not being able to be active on him mentally and physically. While I understand the need to limit the activity, I'd like to think that he could at least do some yoga or activities less stressful than rowing or weight training.
Avatar f tn what's the rule on physical activity? If I've been doing something for years and years and years it's still safe to do it now in my first trimester right?
8278993 tn?1427328406 My question is about physical activity. I woke up this morning with tightness behind my knee and muscle twitching in the same leg. Most of my symptoms are on my left side. I decided to clean my bathroom after about 5-10 minutes of just rearranging and sweeping I couldn't continue. I felt wobbly and had burning pain down my left side especially in my arm and back. Does anyone else experience symptom flare ups when doing physical activity.?
284738 tn?1283106819 I have heard of women athletes whose periods have stopped or become irregular due to the extreme physical activity, but not usually with normal exercise. According to the National Institutes of Health pregnancy is often the first thought when a period is missed, but there are many reasons for having a late period. The rate of primary amenorrhea in the United States is less than 1%. The rate of secondary amenorrhea (due to some cause other than pregnancy) is about 4% in the general population.
Avatar n tn Of course, always check with your physician before starting an exercise program, especially if it has been some time since you’ve been physically active. Once you get the green light, go slow — just ten or 15 minutes a day — then increase to 30 minutes a day as you build stamina, Dr. White suggests. Include at least one activity from each of these three areas: flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular. Ready? Check out these 8 arthritis-friendly workouts. They’re sure to get you going.
Avatar f tn Physical activity is extremely important to a weight loss plan. A minimum of 150 to 175 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity is recommended. Examples of this include walking, biking, swimming and dancing. A target of 60 to 90 minutes most days of the week is encouraged. Physical activity should be a mix of cardiovascular, stretching and resistance activities to maintain or increase lean body mass.
Avatar f tn t going to make everything better immediately but if you commit to a regular and balanced program of activity you will likely notice better movement with less pain within several weeks (possibly months). I agree with Lulu and Alex. I never think moving more will help what hurts. But that is exactly what happens. It is always best when I start small, add difficulty and endurance gradually, keep sessions brief but frequent, and stick with it even after I'm feeling better.
Avatar m tn The brady-cardiac response to exercise can be due to increased stroke volume and also reflective of improved exercise economy, but that can be ruled out as the post suggests physical fitness is not a consideration. The mechanism regulating exercise induced bradycardia is not thoroughly understood, but may be related to a change in the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity.

Avatar n tn I've never known one at 3 to need exercise, they are normally busy little people. But the 5 year old may become complacent with watching TV, or just sitting around the house. You want to make sure he/she is getting enough physical activity so that she doesn't get in the habilt of not doing this which could result in obesity.
1253246 tn?1332073310 As I posted earlier, post rotator cuff surgery some pain is expected, and usually the rehab program of exercise helps overcome that. For first six weeks passive exercises are done, followed by slow initiation of active exercises. Full activity without pain is possible only after 4-6 months. The degree of pain may vary from person to person, and on compliance with the rehab program.
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 f tn Well I was quite active I'm having a great pregnancy but my bump is huge -_- and is swimming ok for pregnancy?
Tbd Hello and welcome to the forum. Yes, physical activity has been shown to help lower total cholesterol. It does this by increasing HDL cholesterol which then counters the bad cholesterol, LDL, which improves your total cholesterol number. Physical activity will also help you lose or maintain appropriate weight which is important as well for cholesterol. https://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/features/exercise-to-lower-cholesterol#1 As to how often, this has been debated.
Avatar f tn Aerobic exercise can decrease waist size, body fat and belly fat in teenagers. 60 minutes per day of physical activity most of which should be aerobic activity. Start with just 10 to 15 minutes per day and gradually increase the amount of time to exercise over several weeks. Running and riding a bike are good for you. How about participation in team sports, or joining a dance class. Simple calisthenics, such as pushups and pull-ups, are good for teens.
Avatar f tn Are you on a regular program of physical activity (like 5 to 6 days a week)? If not, I would start a walking program if your doctor okays it. That and eating fruits and vegetables, whole grains, not too many fried foods, and controlling stress (easier said than done, I know) are also great ways to reduce your risks. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Going slowly, eating nutrient dense quality food, drinking plenty of spring water 1 hour away from meals and getting as much physical activity as your schedule and physical condition allow without exceeding 2 hours daily (key is to ease into any new program), will serve you better. 1000 calories a day may be too low and you may be going into preservation mode, where your metabolism slows down that you burn very few calories, for survival purposes.
Avatar f tn Before going to a diet, get a physical by a physician, and make sure they perform tests such as a TSH (Thyroid hormone), and testosterone There are many reasons for obesity. If there is no hormal issue, you can begin a diet program.
Avatar f tn Weight reduction, if you are overweight or obese, is the optimal health strategy for patients who suffer from COPD. This can be done through a combination of diet, an increase in physical activity and sometimes medication. Weight reduction can help reduce dyspnea, increase exercise tolerance and improve your quality of life. Incorporating pulmonary rehabilitation in to your COPD treatment plan may help you begin an exercise program if you are obese. I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Anyone with some real knowledge regarding your red blood cells and physical exertion? I would guess HGB is not lowered by strenuous activity.
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.
