MS sometimes makes it hard to keep moving, exercising, stretching, so we do less and less. Before long, its not just MS that interferes with our mobility and health, its also atrophy of muscle causing more balance problems and more muscle weakness.

So, we started a Club to support and encourage us to keep moving --You use it or you lose it! So, what do you do-- do you stretch, do you walk, swim, aquacise, isometrics, lift free weights, Wii,calisthenics? Please join the club.

I swim a mile a day. In 2004, I was so weak, I could not walk across a room. Now I swim a mile every single day and I do free weights twice weekly to help with osteoporosis prevention. Cherie (clinical1) was able to stop using her w/c after she religiously worked on a pool based stretch/exercise routine daily.

What do you do?

i got on my horse today. that was nice. worked my leg muscles.

just waiting for the weather to warm up to heat the pool up a bit. otherwise i can't afford to keep it warm.

Horse riding! Wow-- Horses terrify me... Good going

If you are dying to swim, look for the aquasphere swim skins, winter weight. They keep you warm but are flexible enough to swim.

I swam a mile today. Pool is still 84 degrees. So is the ocean

I have been a slug the past few days and have only been doing my stretches. The weather changed and I can feel it. The hurricane by Mexico is bringing in rain and humidity. UGH!

Did my stretches and exercises, before rising, today....Feel pretty Good. Of course, that could be due to the marvy fall weather, we're having.

Indian Summer, later in the week, though..
