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. If you want to try her routines, go to the following link and read how to do it:

Didnt sleep well last night. I took a zanaflex for muscle stuff, and it knocked me out for exactly 2 hours. then...I was wide awake. so, today I am dragging, and its grocery day. The grocery store almost wiped out every spoon I have ever owned.

Its nap time. That is as much exercise as I am getting today.

You're right Dej, its nap time..

I did swim a mile today in the rain.

I love to swim in the rain, as long as there's no lightening.
