Excuse me, if this is not a big secret, what kind of videos have you been doing?I've been doing videos and walking outside, though this weekend was a wash because I had company and I didn't really get in any workouts. Back on the health train tomorrow, though.
LOL, not a secret.Excuse me, if this is not a big secret, what kind of videos have you been doing?
I do walk-at-home videos by Leslie Sansone. Really easy steps and no crazy choreography.
I've only been doing yoga/pilates/stretches for the last several weeks since that issue with my back/hip/pelvis. It is greatly improved but not completely. Too much walking seems to aggravate it. I miss my morning walks, though.
I will have to go back to the doctor and have them pursue a cause at some point. I find it hard to believe that everything is simply fibromyalgia related, although I spoke to someone today who was also diagnosed and she has almost the exact same symptoms. I need to make sure it's not something orthopedic-related. I mean, maybe I have a pinched nerve or disc issue. They need to rule that out before I can accept that this is something that's going to occur repeatedly.
I got a book about using a foam roller for back pain and remembered it talked about being good for fibro. I didn't really do enough from it to say anything, but tons of people give it positive reviews.I've only been doing yoga/pilates/stretches for the last several weeks since that issue with my back/hip/pelvis.

it's more stretching, relaxation & breathing techniques than exercise but really enjoyable so I'll continue with that weekly.
oops.
Yoga was good
I’ve been walking most days and trying to do 30 minute yoga sessions three or four times a week. I’ve had a lot of lower back pain this month - especially around thanksgiving so I think it might have something to do with standing and cooking...? But so far nothing seems to help (except for Advil, but I hate taking it) so I just keep doing what I can do.
I had some kind of lower back/hip/pelvic pain and it lasted a good six weeks. It’s the third time this has flared up over the past two years and it’s taken the longest to recover from. So annoying. They did tests to rule out anything internal...kidneys, bladder, gynocological, but they didn’t test for what seems like the obvious to me...muscular or some orthopedic issue. I’m definitely pushing for that the next time it rears it’s ugly head. I did find that rest did the most to alleviate the pain. Once I started feeling better I started doing yoga/stretching exercises. That feels really good. I am still unable to kick into full walking mode though, which is upsetting. It’s what I love the most. But anything prolonged sets the pain off again. Even walking the stores for more than half an hour is becoming a problem.

I mix powdered tumeric with just a bit of powdered black pepper and take a half teaspoon in a shot of water, followed by more water, every moring. I'll do another shot at night if I exert myself, or feel some stiffness. I find it helps my arthritis a LOT.I’ve been walking most days and trying to do 30 minute yoga sessions three or four times a week.
