I have yet to go into the weights and aerobic area of exercising, but I need to soon. It's the next step (pun not inteded), but I dread it. <s> But i like getting results! ^db^ I feel so much better about myself. I invited Diane to participate because it helps me to have someone else to encourage me ... thanks Gwen!

Jo, what kind of exercises have you been doing? Good Luck (0)

P.S. Maybe I can work up to this exercising :wub:

I am doing Pilates...I have a machine and really you are working with your body's weight (which is plenty) to get you more flexible. I just need to get to walking and some more weight training...I am so sore today...I feel bad, but I did my time. Even my ribs are sore...must be a fibro flare...

Jo....you are doing great.

Sorry to hear that you're hurting - hope it goes away soon. :(

It's better today. I had decreased my thyroid med and I am one that has a lot of muscle aches when hypo...so I hope that was it, because I was so much less stiff and sore and the exercise has really made me feel better.

I have felt badly all week, but I've exercised, Gwen! I'm not adding anything, but I am doing the pilates...I hope to start walking. (bclg) before you walk, huh?

Jo...if you are feeling really tired or you're sick, I would curtail the exercising. It can hinder us from getting well at a normal speed.

I don't want to be downer for you cause you are doing so well. (0)

Gwen, I walked a little today! A little while outside and then inside for just 8 mins on the treadmill, but it was okay...I then did my Pilates. I really feel that doing the pilates for these weeks have made a big difference in my ability to walk now.

I still feel yucky from the fibro or whatever, but I feel better after exercising... gdbV

If exercise makes you feel better that's wonderful :D Pretty soon you will be giving us advice.
