I do stretching exercises in the morning to loosen up the muscles that have stiffened up during the night. I walk a bit, either in a park with lots of benches or I carry a lawn chair. Walk a little, rest a lot. Walk a little more, rest a lot. I can't do an entire or even half of an aerobic workout all at once, but I can do aerobics for as long as a TV commercial. As long as I don't try to do any exercise for too long at a time, I'm OK. I have also found that varying the type of exercise helps. So my TV watching workout might look like this: Commercial: wave my arms around until I begin to feel tired (don't overdo!) Program: rest and watch TV until I feel better Commercial: sit in my chair and kick my feet up and down Program: rest and watch TV until I feel better Commercial: get up and dance around Program: rest and watch TV until I feel better Repeat if possible. I've also heard yoga is good for us, but some poses are much easier for us than others. Tai Chi is a good class to take if you can find one in your area (or find a video). Swimming is terrific exercise (and a lot of fun) but the water needs to be warm or our muscles start cramping up. Basically, whatever exercise your body will allow you to do that day is good for you. Don't worry about how long you're exercising each day (except as a goal to be reached as you get healthier). Just keep trying to exercise bit by bit, and listen when your body tells you to stop and rest for a while. Be well and God bless you! xoxoxoxox Heather xoxoxoxox
Beloved Father God,
Help me befriend those who are lonely,
Help me comfort those who are hurting,
Help me do battle against the darkness,
And help me lead the way to You.
In Jesus' name, amen. |
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for your post. Your exercise plan is such a good idea, that I'm going to try and incorperate it in my life. Thanks again for sharing
