exercise and stuff | Arthritis Information

 

so i did it ppl

Good job!great job but keep in mind you can't go from doing nothing to killing yourself.  Modersation as you ramp up will prevent injury.  Work smarter not harderyeah i guess Great job star, I need to do some of that exercising stuff. Keep it up.yup and it wasnt so bad Seriously though you're risking muscle, tendon or joint injury by doing too much at once. well i thought u ppl would be happy that i got off my *ss and actually did something for a change, well i guess not.

we are proud of you for starting an exercise program....but we also don't want you to hurt yourself.

I am proud of you. You are a kid you can probably handle more than us old people. LOL Maybe they are just jealous. I would work very hard if my bloodsugar was that high. You did good. So let us know tomorrow. If you can not do as much because you are sore than try to do some. Good job well done.thnx ppl That is wonderful Star!  I'm so glad you made the first step - that is the hardest.  Getting started is so easy to put off, but you did it!  And you seem to think it wasn't so bad, right?  Good to hear you sound so proud of yourself!

Good job, Star!

Hey Star - I'm glad to see you are taking a step in the right direction.  Good for you.  I think you should progress slowly and build up as you go - like many others have suggested.  Exercise should be fun and enjoyable or you won't continue to do it.  As far as your bottom hurting from the bike seat know that your bottom will toughen up over time as you ride/pedal more.  I am speaking from experience - lots of experience.  Whether I was preparing for a bike trip or just starting to ride in the spring time my bottom would be sore for awhile.  Eventually that discomfort goes away and cycling becomes very pleasurable.  When I was 19 years old I rode my bike across the country.  Even though I trained some before the big trip, my bottom hurt many days during the trip (7 weeks of riding).  Bottom pain isn't doing any damage. I would be more concerned if you had joint or tendon pain.  That could be much more serious.   Anyway, slow and steady wins the race!!!  I hope you have many happy hours cycling indoors and out.  I hope your friend can help you learn to ride outside.  Good luck. hmmm maybe every other day would be good GREATblood sugar, Star!! Great job on your blood sugar. I have diabetes too and I know how hard it is to get it under control. thnx Great news about the exercising Star! As others have said though, you have to start out slow and build up, so you don't risk muscle, tendon, joint damage. Always be sure and listen to your body!  so i did it Great job!!! What is the bloodsugar today?

oh yeah i forgot to say

Yippie!!!!  That is so much better than it was. How are the headaches?  Are they better when your bloodsugar is lower?nope i still got terrible headaches GREAT job on the exercising!!  yup babs, and im gonna do more today The sports physiologist who is working with me to increase my physical strength, endurance, and to enhance my muscle tone tells me that 15-20 minutes four or five time a day of strenuous activity is, in the early stages of an exercise program, more beneficial than longer sessions. Especially for someone who has not been routinely exercising. Additionally, shorter more frequent sessions will, as others have remarked, help prevent muscle and or joint problems. For anyone with JRA or RA preventing injuries is as important as the exercise itself.

Good for you taking your blood glucose levels seriously and realizing the importance of exercise.
yup and ive been doing good too Glad to you doing so well!
