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

Swimming doesn't sound specifically too appealing right now, what with the current cold front FREEZING Houston...
All I do is walk any more. Sometimes run, like when it's raining... Tom |

Hi Everybody!
I've been running after Rocky and Daisy many times a day (she's fast!) I'm just trying to prevent a bloodbath. They are learning to get along better though, slow but sure. I tried out the last of my new exercise DVDs yesterday. This one is by Prevention magazine and I really, really liked it. It's called "Express Belly Blast" and it's pretty easy to follow. I did 20 minutes of cardio intervals, ten minutes of weight/toning, five minutes of yoga and a five minute cool down.

Sally, I agree: Good for you for walking Tom
Ewiz, nice to hear about your doings Very cute cat. That sounds good Vonn. I've done taht at work, the push ups against a countertop. I think its good for the bones I also do free weights for the bones. I hate it, its so boring, but necessary.

I finally got out of this prison and took the dog for a very short walk today...haven't had much energy at all in the two weeks since surgery. But there were snow flakes hitting our faces, and the furbaby stuck his nose up in the air and sniffed, then looked at me with a look of bliss on his face...it was nice to get even that little bit of movement today...
I do look forward to being released to do weight training again...I feel like a bowlful of jelly, just like Santa
