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.
I am not a doctor or a therapist, so you should consult with someone who is, but I suggest you try to find a fitness studio, gym, or physical therapy clinic that uses whole body vibration machines. Standing on a vibration platform can improve flexibility and mobility, and many people have reported relief from foot problems. Hope that helps!
Tai Chi is another recommended exercise. You can look at the arthritis foundation web site to find programs in your area designed for arthritis patients.

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.
My mom tells me that all the time and my mother in law -.
What is the best way to stay in shape and gain good weight for the baby and not too much weight where when you deliver youll be completely overweight yourself.
that I needed time to regain my cardio fitness in order to return to work (Company physical ability test). I started back to the fitness center about 2 weeks post treatment & hit the treadmill, stair stepper, and also did some light weight training.
On my third day after returning to work I was stacking some metal parts on a pallet and was using proper lifting techniques when I sprained my ankle with a possible achilles tendon injury.
s like the knee and quad do not want to engage correctly. Pain in the top of leg. Physical therapist the other day mentioned something about my leg muscles being weak. Not sure if he meant from lack of use or clinical weakness. Panic ensured when he made this statement. Additionally, he states he thinks I'm hypermobile (not sure if that's related at all).
So I went to the doctor. The new nurse practitioner did not have any answers or ideas what it could be.
My 80 year old mother had TKR surgery last week. She says when she stands or sits for any length of time, her foot hurts and she must lay down to relieve the pain. The doctor said this is typical because of blood rushing to the foot and recommended putting the support sock on.
Has anyone else experienced this? Everyone is impressed with her flexibility and she's doing her exercises regularly but this pain has really gotten her concerned and regrets getting the surgery.
I have a bulging L5 - S1 that has been causing problems for just over a year now. I've had 4 epidurals, and have been taking pain pills daily. About 6 month ago I started getting really bad upper back spasms, I had an MRI, CT Scan, and Ultra Sound that all came back clear. I got another epidural about a month ago and the back spasms went away (they are starting to come back as the epidural is wearing off).
Does anyone know of gentle exercises to get my stamina up? I have bad knees, and rheumatoid arthritis in my back so I'm not super flexible. Want to get extra weight off to help improve health...
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.
It really hinders my ability to increase my fitness level by walking or running. When I look in the mirror I see that my legs (below the knee) are slightly bowed. I often wonder if that might be the reason and if so is there anything I can do to overcome that problem? I would love to know how to overcome this.
Personal trainers at gyms are not physical therapists. They are not trained, usually, in rehab and health in any great detail -- they sometimes will have this training on their own, but then they'll probably leave the gym and go out on their own. Dr. Yass, as mentioned by Gymdandee, basically offers physical therapy, and believe me, I've had physical therapy up the yin yang.
In this time, cross-training activities, such as swimming, can allow an athlete to maintain their fitness while resting the knee. The next step in treatment is a physical therapy program that should emphasize strengthening and flexibility of the quadriceps and hamstring muscle groups. Majority patient’s recover without surgery.
In case conservative treatment fails, then procedures like lateral release can be performed. Also there is need for activity modification after surgery.
I am 55 and weighing 215 lbs. My physical condition is quite good. In the past six weeks, I have discovered that I have a shortness of Breath when I run, sometimes a sensation of pressure in my chest, and pains in my left arm. If I rest, these symptoms go away. At the moment I am not taking any medications and only vitamins.

There are lots of news stories, books, web sites and blogs about physical fitness. I was excited when I found out March was Spiritual Fitness month. It is easy to tell if we are physical fit or not but how do we know if we are spiritually fit or not?
I am sure there as many different definitions of spiritual fitness as there are religions and spiritual practices.
