Anyone here who love to exercise?

Posted by happyflower on October 22, 2005, at 14:22:51

I have been working out everyday for the last 3 months and I am totally hooked. I love to workout! I do weights 3X a week, cardio everyday for at least 3 miles or 40 minutes, and now I am starting yoga and pilates! I guess I am a little freaky! :)

I love it but my health problems have caused me to cease it for a while.

I was a runner- around 4 miles a day. Got sick and could hardly cross a room without running out of breathe.

I've realized right now, rest for my body is more important than exercise.

As I feel better and have more strength, I start on the treadmill again but I'm going SLOOOW... Like doing 1.5 miles in 30 minutes.

I miss being able to run. I know one day I'll be doing it again.

Running created a high like no other I've ever experience. I ran three miles a few times a week for years. My personal best was l3miles in the snow when I lived in Ct. Now I can't run anymore degenerative disc disease I think. They say it's from too much excercist. Go figure. Fondly, Phillipa

I do. increasing endorphins is great, plus immune boosting. unfortunately i cant run anymore cause of CFS/FM. It may have been the trigger even. Of course in both disorders, low endorphins and immune function are observed, its no surprise there.

Hi Spriggy,

Do you like to swim? A friend of mine has lupus, and her doctor has encouraged her to swim. It's less jarring than some of the other sports she likes. She's an EXCELLENT tennis player, but that puts too much force on her joints right now.

Hi happyflower,

Yes! I love to exercise. It's the best anti-depressant/anti-anxiety agent for me.

your friend with lupus should check out the treatment low dose naltrexone www.lowdosenaltrexone.org

it basically remisses lupus and most autoimmune diseases.

 

How often do you exercise?

I have found that my earlier attempts at working out in the evening every other day, I would always come up with excuses for NOT doing it.
But now I go every morning,so there is no saying, well I will go tommorrow instead, it is now part of my every day routine, only a small part of my day. But I love it !

Lunesta,

Thank you. I'm sorry I'm late in responding to you. Thanks very much for the information.

By the way, did you choose your screen name based on the sleeping medicine?

Sarah

Hi Lunesta,
Is Xyrem a sleeping pill or a benzo? Do you feel that Xyrem provides a restful, restorative sleep?

Sarah
