Hi!
I also have fibro (since May of this year) and am a Certified Personal Trainer (ironic huh?)
Walking would be great for you. It is a weight bearing exercise that will help strengthen bones without breaking them down like higher impact exercises would. Start with something doable even if its just walking around the block and add on from there!
I want to increase flexibility and muscle tone. Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent yoga/exercise DVD?
Physician initially said revealed dehydrated discs around the S1 area but later said they looked fine. I have been doing yoga 3-5 times a week the past 1.5 months and been to a stretch therapist 5-6 times the past three weeks but the problem persists.
Background:
I worked out a lot - Crossfit 5-6 times a week + a little running - and wasn't great about stretching. My hip flexibility was not good and I was sore all the time.
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...
It may help with joint pain and flexibility and your balance. Yoga typically involves deep breathing, stretching, and poses that tone, strengthen, and align the body. Both of these low-impact exercises are easy on the joints and can improve flexibility and muscle strength. Look for classes or you can buy a DVD.
The latissimus dorsi is the broadest muscle in your back. Stand with your back straight and feet shoulder-width apart. Hold your arms above your head, and hold one hand with the other.
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. Be sure to let your instructor know you have arthritis so he or she can help adapt the poses to match your personal physical limits.
Your body uses different fuels, known as substrates, for the different intensity and length of exercises. For very high intensity exercises lasting for less than two minutes, such as a heavy weightlifting or an all-out sprint, your body generates energy without oxygen, drawing on muscle stores of creatine phosphate and glycogen, the storage form of glucose. For lower-intensity exercise of longer duration like walking, running or cycling, your body uses oxygen to burn glycogen and fat.
Someone please tell me where to find some good yoga exercises. I can't seem to fund any good ones. I'm 20 weeks! And would like some input on what other mommies do??
I took prenatal yoga and pilates classes which helped with flexibility and breathing! I wish i could find the time to take some classes with my second.
