exercise and weight loss

I am not in your situation but I do have a couple of thoughts, what about
water exercise? and what about stretching exercises? good luck, Lee who
does not exercise at all and is losing slowly, Lee

Hi, Becky, I exercise almost every day but not the way you
do. I think you can still maintain your weight without this
amount. It can not be good for you if it hurts you. I do
some cardio but mostly, I walk. I would encourage you not to
depend on the exercise to keep the weight off. Try not to
obsess about it. Follow your doctor's advice. Find ways to
relax, listen to music, read a book, watch a movie take a
long bubble bath. You have lost a lot of weight. It will not
come back overnight. You need to banish your critic.

Becky,

Try Yoga for toning, it really helps strengthen the muscles
that support the back, so it may help with your back
problems. Plus, it's a great toner, I did weights for years
and never achieved the toned look in my arms like I have
with Yoga. You really don't stress your feet (except for
standing positions, which are for the most part pretty
gentle on the feet) and you can modify all positions if they
become painful. the best thing is that it is so relaxing. As
for cardio, can you swim? I have been running for a year and
a half (six miles, four times a week) and tried swimming a
few laps on Sunday and it kicked my butt cardio-wise, I
could barely catch my breath after 10 laps of freestyle, but
had no sore knees, or feet like I do when I run.

The most important thing is to feel better and take care of
yourself, I think these exercises may help!

Hi Becky, I also have RA in multiple joints and I am
relatively young.. 43.

First off don't panic, and use your meds conservatively for
the inflammation you may have sparked.

My RD told me: no incline on the treadmills, no stepping or
kicking (as in tae-bo or step classes) you can do lighter
weights with more reps..but don't stress your joints with
too much weight (so much that you wobble when tired) Think
longer, not harder exercise.

I can't run for an hour like I used to, but I can walk VERY
fast 4-5mph. and it burns almost the same calories.

I find that if I take every other day off my feet are
less likely to hurt.(aaaargh, BOTH feet) RA sucks, but
what to do??

MY RD also suggested indoor cycling or spinning-so I bought
a bike...it's being shipped.(I can't wait!!)

Let us know how you fare during recovery!! teresa

Hi, Meg, Good advice!
