Hi my lovelies in between autoimmune flares I do simple physio exercises to strengthen my legs and especially left side. I also do adapted yoga moves aswell as stretching for mobility strengthen and flexibility all over. I have neuropathy aswell as Osteoarthritis in my spine and coccyx. I have 3 inoperable prolapsed discs so I can't do any impact exercises like my former loves and faves 😍 running, yoga, and going to the gym using freeweights and machines aswell as exercise balls and treadmill etc. I'm naturally hyper and the gym suited me as I'd get bored easily I've swam in the past and enjoyed it. But there's only so many laps you can do. Of my 51 years since leaving school, I've always did some kind of exercise. So when I was told bluntly by my specialist (who was the director of his department and top consultant in orthopedic and a surgeon, so he knew his stuff) I had to stop all high impact exercise and to cancel my gym membership. I'd been going to the gym for almost 20 years going 6 days every week...Anyway I have l doing gentle no and low impact exercise for the last 6 months and I have had no additional problems because of the arthritis. However since 2013 and having been in ICU for almost 2 months on life support. I was unable to move let alone rollover or get out of the bed. I was also left with new health problems and was diagnosed with Fibrosis Bronchietatis and Costochrondritis and CIP (Critical Illness Polyneuropathy) this made me physically weaker (I suppose I have to factor in the lung damage and the Pulmonary Embolisms I had)my legs were weaker. I am also in constant pain because of this. I still need help to get up if I fall over so I have found these and something I can work up to build strength without impacting negative consequences. Weight bearing exercises will help everyone over 50. But I have reach the limit where I need to start lifting some weight. I don't need to lose any weight but improve on my current 14.5%bodyfat 🙏🏽😁looking forward to seeing how this goes. #healthjourney #exercisehelps #vegansofig #fitnessover50 #womenfitness #wellbeing #thyroidhealth #weightliftinggirls #vegansoffacebook #fibrosis #romanigypsyfitnessgoals (at At Home..<3) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDEMvmkBqeG/?igshid=d49t45965kuk
