AS & Movement/Exercise
Hi, everyone. I'm very interested to hear what kind of movement and exercise you do — if you can still do exercise, of course.
While there are things I can't do, like running (ah, the spinal torture!!!)...I still dance, swim, and walk.
Dancing (I use YouTube dance videos) only works when I'm on a yoga mat so I'm not pounding my spine. Swimming is excellent for me and I always feel GREAT but I don't typically have access to a pool.
Walking is useful too, but honestly, if I aim to walk 10,000 steps per day, it KILLS ME but about 7k. If I'm honest, it hurts most of the time...but it starts to really kill me (my hips and lower back) at 7k.
So - does walking hurt/affect you?
What kind of shoes do you wear for back support?
stretching, yoga, hydrotherapy (exercise in warm water), walking, cycling, swimming
Water aerobics
Hey Lisa How are you? For me it’s dancing and swimming like you, I have a 24 hr fitness membership they have a pool and hot tub so I usually go there for swimming. I like a good Nike memory foam sneaker anything with memory foam helps me a lot! Sending love 💙 Nadine (Community Member)
