> I may be 66 years old with arthritis, osteoporosis, bone spurs, curvature of spine but I was told that in order to condition my body to eliminate pain through PT prescribed by a spinal neurosurgeon I ride my bike 6 miles daily up and down hills with a binder on. Mowed the lawn, and walked the dogs then got on the mat on the floor and did the excercises based on my unique problems for an hour. Now I feel sooo much better. Due to rain went two days without and started to feel depressed. I have found throughout my own unique life that more than two days with out excercise is the most depressing thing I can do. When younger when I felt this and it meant get up and jog 2-3 miles and I felt like myself again. The younger days were before any ad's. Just occasional valium. To me a day without excercise is like a day without living. Phillipa
Well, then, it seems to me that you should consider yourself extremely fortunate to feel alive at all.
In my unique life, with the exception of a few days here and there, I haven't felt alive in over 35 years, despite my exercising vigorously for the first 15 of them. For me, my depression has been a painful walking death without relent. There has been no way out. At least you have had one.
I do not feel better after I exercise.
I do feel better after pharmacotherapy.
Now I can exercise.
Thank God.
Amen.
