I bought three sets of neoprene hand weights, 2 lbs, 3 lbs, and 5 lbs. I also order a treadmill. I will use the weights alone and with the treadmill. I plan to start walking at first, gradually moving to jogging, and then running. I work nights, so it is not convent for me to go outside for walking and running. Also the tread mill's running track is much softer than the outside ground. I did a bit of research and decided on the following: http://www.xterrafitness.com/treadmi...trail-racer-66 Here is a link to Xterra's line of treadmills for comparison: http://www.xterrafitness.com/treadmills They have a promotion until the end of the month. If you spend $998 you also get the Xterra UB1.5 Upright Bike for free , a flywheel exercise bike. These sell for $230 at Overstock. They charge $20 for the free exercise bike to cover the cost of headlining. I don't have room for the bike, so I'm giving it to a friend. They ship the tread mills for free at the basic level, but this is only curb service. It weights around 275 pounds. You can pay for better shipping options. Take care, -Mark- |

My Mg is stable on Cellcept and mestinon. I started with a spin bike at home and 5 lb dumbbells. At first I could only bike a few minutes and would need to rest. When I am at home I jump on the bike for 5 min every hour throughout the day. I will do the weights twice a day. I am feeling stronger and have started walking a mile 3 times a week. On the days I am not doing well I will do less exercise and rest more. I know to stop when my vision gets more blurred and my voice gets hoarse. I would be careful until you get stabilized Good Luck !

I used to be a runner, skier, surfer etc.. so was used to working out frequently.. but now I have to save my energy for the essentials .. that being said I have a very physical job, I also have 2 small kids, so I run around all the time chasing them, lifting them etc.. so I am still very active, but just can't expend the energy or recovery time for actual working out at this point.. I'll take what I can get! (fyi - I am not confirmed MG, i do get IVIG for mystery illness - with LEMS being high on the list)

My doctor told me not to exercise. Then when I told him I had started doing some walking, he said that it was good. He told me not to ride my horse, but I ignored him.
