we used to have these a while back and they stopped appearing. Exercise is amazing for our bodies, our minds and our MS. What did YOU do today? Sit in a chair and peddle your legs? or sit on a bike and peddle your legs? Even if you did 1 minute of something, tell us about it. HAve tips or tricks on how to get more exercise in while in a weakened state, WC or disabled condition, please share!

Me? Im a walker right now. I go blind when I walk, but I keep walking anyway. Its hard work, and many days I dont want to go. I make many excuses in my head, but its a routine now, and I rise, sit on the edge of the bed and swear for a minute. Pull on a bandana to hide my bed head, shift on my walking clothes (which I lay out the night before for less excuses in the AM) and I stand up and swear a few more minutes. Toilet myself, wash my face, brush my teeth, and drag myself into the living room where DH is saying "ready?" UGH! "yes, im ready. we step out and cover ourselves with our bug out brew and off we go. By the time I hit one mile I am awake. watching the sun come up over the lake. By the time I hit 1.5 miles im blind, and covered in sweat and dead bugs.

I didnt start out doing this much. I started out walking to the mailbox and back. That was a feat and a half! Then I walked to the neighbors and rested before I came back. Then I didnt rest, I just came back. and further and further it went. Even while on my awful DMD I tried to walk. Some days I made it, some days I puked on the side of the road and went home. Now I can do a 2 mile walk on flat roads, and a 1/2 mile up the dreaded rabbit hollow road and a 1/2 mile back down. im huffing, puffing, my lungs are burning and Im covered n sweat and blind, but I feel so proud of myself.

So, tell me. Want to restart this thread? or should we allow it to stay buried in the back stacks?
