Today I answered a discussion from one of my friends (and I hope she will jump in on this discussion to disclose herself). She is in terrible pain. She knows that she needs to exercise in order to ease the pain but the pain is so great she can't get motivated to exercise. I have put on some extra weight over the winter months and am starting to have indigestion that is going to lead to GERD again if I don't lose it. I'm ready to get fit again! I have copied -and am going to paste my response to her (first copy and paste on MyLot for me!). I hope that I will have some "takers". Copy and Paste Follows: __________________________________________________________ You can't do them (exercises) because you are in so much pain and You are in so much pain because you can't do them The most simple way to start is in the evening or whenever you are sitting and watching television just begin by moving your head. -First do about 5 chin to chest (or as close as you can), -Back to start -Then head back toward your back as far as you can - no pain -Back to start After you have completed those repetitions Do 5 of the following:-Head in normal position -Lower it as close to right shoulder as possible -Head back to normal -Lower it as close to left shoulder as possible -Head back to normal Following that TRY to do 5 repetitions of the following STOP IMMEDIATELY if you get dizzy and do all of these while sitting. Just do simple head rolls -Start with head in normal position Roll head down with chin to chest, around to left shoulder, around to back, around to right shoulder, around to chest. Repeat as many times up to 5 as possible. Just these simple exercises will get you started. Before you know it, we will be moving our arms while still sitting down. Are you in it with me? Are you ready to make some life changes? Are you committed? Will you start tonight or are you going to tell me, "I'll start next Monday". Whatever you choose, I will work the program with you. If anyone else wants to begin to do some easy stretching let's get going. We can all do this until Monday and on Monday I will post the next add-on. Let me know who's in and who's out.~Donna
