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

[BBS1951]

I swam a mile today and it was nice and warm--yay!

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...

I'm working on my arms with weights ... and do push-ups (against the counter!) .. so I don't have to struggle to get up off the floor!!

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.
