Avatar f tn anyone have any good body stretches? I'm looking for new ones or ones I haven't seen before... Contortionist type stretches are welcome too!!
Avatar f tn That's not true. If you look at pregnancy workouts they always do that stretch in the beginning of workouts haha. I workout everyday and all I know I can't do is on my back abs.
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 Are there any workouts to do at 37 weeks to ease the pain in my vagina and ease my muscles??
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 n tn It’s based on moving through a routine of set poses, or stretches, which increase flexibility, yet protect joints from injury. As your skill builds, the added poses become increasingly challenging in different ways, which makes yoga an exercise routine that grows with you. Another basic yoga concept is that everyone is on his or her own path, progressing at his or her own pace. So leave behind the competitive spirit or fear that you’re not as good as others.
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 Its hard for me to do crunches because I have sciatica and it gives me bad back pain. Anyone know of some workouts that could be helpful for my situation?
Avatar n tn Stretching is always the best when you are warm, so after walks, workouts, or even hot showers or baths. Avoid doing stretches when body is cold as there is more likelyhood of tearing muscles.
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 have gone to physical therapy and have regained all my flexibility and have no acute pain anymore. My frustration is still not being able to run. I get almost immediate hamstring area tightness and have burning sensation and discomfort in my ankle/foot area also. the physical therapist thinks it is a compensatory reaction because I am flexing my foot too much to try and bring that weaker leg thru when running.
Avatar m tn The treatment for the enlarged heart walls can be medication the reduces the force of contractility and help increase the flexibility of the walls. If medication is not successful there is surgery that that can remove the excessive mass. There can be heart muscle damage do to excessive drinking of alcohol, drugs, some medication, virus, bacteria, etc.

Avatar f tn ve literally been hit by a car. My entire body hurts. Do you guys recommend a belly band or even certain workouts?
Avatar f tn I knw it ***** but just try to enjoy your time with your baby untill you're fully 6 weeks postpartum then talk to your doctor to see if you're good to go for working out. Even when you get the ok don't start with heavy vigorous workouts try walking at a nice pace with a waist trainer on to help your tummy go back to normal.
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 m tn I was feeling a lump in my throat a few weeks ago and it made my workouts difficult. One day i then made it worse by rushing my shoulder workout which left my neck feeling tight and swollen. I then felt dizzy and stopped working out. I rested for about a week and now i can't seem to have a proper workout without feeling light headed, tingly face feeling, sinus blocked, ear blocked, face goes a bit numb. I have been working out for 3 years and have never experienced anything like this.
Avatar f tn t want to do anything that will harm ur baby or cause u to go into pre term labor.

And u should consult ur Dr before starting anything since everyone's different as are there pregnancies. Some women its not safe for them to workout. I walk alot and if i cant get out to walk like in this weather i like to go to stores to walk or walk in place.
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.
Avatar f tn t bounce around or exert too much. It is amazing for strength and flexibility and burns calories too.
1697806 tn?1339083319 Your reps should be between six and 12 per set for the most muscle growth, and your workouts should never last much longer than 45 minutes. use heavier weights and move through each rep at a controlled speed. Your sets should last between 40 and 70 seconds any less, and you're not tensing your muscles long enough to shock them into growth.
Avatar m tn I may try to see my orthopedic doctor and maybe get an MRI. I tried hip abductor stretches, also ice and muscle strengthing. Last night I could not a lay a way that did not hurt. I use motrin. Advice and tips welcome.
671285 tn?1292660161 My best friend and I get together to practice at least two more days in the week for about half an hour. I just began doing sit-ups, stretches, and a bit of running around (running with my children). I do not have any shortness of breath but I notice that whenever I do exercise my heart seems to race afterwards for nearly half an hour while I am resting. The pounding is rather frightening. Should I be concerned? I also feel fatigued, sometimes light headed (although rarely).
Avatar f tn Exercise often, and follow a varied plan that includes strength training. Use the workouts that make use of flexibility and stretching, strength training and aerobics for the best results. Fitting in regular sessions of weightlifting, calisthenics or other strength activities can help increase muscle mass and keep the body toned and strong.
Avatar f tn Practice yoga during your pregnancy!
Avatar f tn 5 percent, with the impact increasing in people who hold individual stretches for 90 seconds or more. While the effect is reduced somewhat when people’s stretches last less than 45 seconds, stretched muscles are, in general, substantially less strong". A better choice is to warm up dynamically, by moving the muscles that will be called upon in your workout.
