Hi BBS. Welcome home. Glad your MS is stable and you are doing well.

I had a "keep on moving to keep on groovin" thread last month. I had a fall in Nov. and was in the hospital to heal and a whole lot of PT to get stronger. It worked so I am a big believer in keeping it moving.

Doing my PT daily and feeling better for it.

This is just what I need. I have not been working out lately very often. But today I did 40 minutes of Pilates and 30 minutes on the elliptical. I need to keep exercising because it helps my mood and keeps me strong. Thanks for reviving this thread.

Welcome back. Maybe it will motivate me cause all I do is work n play couch potato. I used to swim, bike, lift weights, wii fit and do pilates. Now I am a bump on a log. They say exercise gives you energy but I don't have the energy to exercise. I barely have the energy to work a desk job. Maybe I'll try and do 20 minutes of pilates today or ride my bike for 15 minutes.

BBS, good to see you

Yesterday, I walked to PT because I missed the bus. I had an hour of PT including 10 minutes of bike riding w resistance. I walked home. Then the cat was missing, so, while still daylight I walked the loop that makes up my street of 75+ houses.

So far, I am Ok this morning. Oh, and cat came home very hungry.

I'd love to start some sort of exercise routine. I tried the elliptical......couldn't do that for more than 3 minutes without my legs becoming like jello. Same thing with the treadmill. About five minutes is all I can manage without my legs becoming very weak. So weak that I can't support myself. I'm wondering if an exercise bike might be the ticket. Something I can do while sitting down. I hate to invest more money into something that I can't use but I need to do something. It has to be something I can do at home since I don't drive and have no way to go anywhere. Any advice?

I walked a mile today! it was slow, but a mile non the less. im off to nap.

I took a 60 minute spin class this morning before class and today I wasn't the only person over 20 years old in the room, lol.

If I don't work out at least 5 times a week I get depressed and am blessed at this point to be able to do it. I usually take 3 spin classes and do 30 minutes on the elliptical at the Y the other two days.

It breaks my heart to read about people who were physically active and can't exercise now because of MS. I am thankful for every day I have while I still can.
