Lisa, you should try a set of Miracle Balls. They feel so good on the spine. I like to use them after I do yoga.

The Miracle Ball Method-A Review

Hello, I read your post and really very useful information sharing.Miracle Balls method is the really very useful exercise.

I'm glad you like the Miracle Ball Method. I recommend it to everyone.

Hi everyone. Tomorrow I have my 3rd rotator cuff surgery. I won't be exercising for awhile but I hope you will continue to post your workouts here.

I will keep you updated on my recovery and the wonderful time I expect to have in physical therapy.

Hi everyone, have you missed me? I went for my surgery last Wednesday 3/27. The doctor went in (shoulder) with a scope to take some pictures before she made the incision. It was a lot worse than she thought, so she took the laser out and sewed me up. I had numb arm for awhile but I'm feeling okay.

Now I'm waiting to hear if there is a shoulder specialist who is willing to do it. But I'm also considering not having surgery at all. It won't heal but it will never heal completely, even with the surgery.

So tomorrow I plan to ride my bike and do some gentle yoga.

What have you been up too?

Yes, you were missed!

I'm sorry to hear about the outcome of your laser surgery.

Terri, I have to admit that I am only a lurker in your forum because, well, I am not so great at getting out there to exercise even though I know that it is one of the best things I could do for myself.

I start but stop. I love it while I'm doing it but I can't seem to make it a regular habit.

I no longer have a gym membership but I do have a bike. Love yoga, walking, swimming and dancing but I just don't get to it daily. Could I also post my own exercise journal in your forum to keep me accountable?

Lori, of course, you are very welcome. Everyone is welcome to post their workouts here. I'm glad you want to share.

Sounds like there are lots of things you like to do and that's the best way to get started on a routine. A routine doesn't have to be everyday. Maybe you could try something like setting a goal of so many minutes of exercise a week and then accumulate minutes doing the exercises you love. You could gradually increase your minutes per week.

Here's an article I recommend if you haven't already read it:
Starting a New Exercise Routine

I am glad you are no longer lurking and have come out of the shadows.

Thank you, Terri! I will start first thing in the morning with a nice walk around the block. Later, I will see how far it actually is when I drive out.

I loved your article. It gives me hope that I can do this and sustain it. I think I get overly ambitious and try to train for the Olympics and then drop out. LOL.

At my age, I do worry about my heart but walking is doable. Thank you for your encouragement!

Lori, I do the same thing. I design these over-the-top workouts and then I don't stick with them because they are either too time consuming or just not fun.

I am going to ride my recumbent bike today. A nice easy ride and I hope to have enough energy to do some easy yoga.

Have a nice walk!

Oh, good, so it's not only me. Sometimes, I think I'm nuts.

Well, today turned out very differently than I had planned. No walk. BUT...I am hosting my two grandnieces overnight and invited a friend with his two daughters to join in the fun.

So before they all came over, I blitzed the house by cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Mopped all the hardwood floors. Scrubbed the bathroom/shower/toilet/sinks. Laundered the den sofa covers and linens. Guest room bedding was already clean and fresh. But, I raked the leaves and scrubbed the patio and the lawn (artificial) with water and a broom.

That was a work-out, really. Does it count?
