For those who need a reason to exercise
 

I have just found out that exercise has gotten rid of almost all of my varicose veins! I used to have a very large raised one on my thigh. It is now smaller and flat. I am thrilled because it was so fat and ugly. I felt it made me hide my legs because I did not want it to be seen and even my ex boyfriend and husband asked me what it was. Well now it is flat and small. I am so happy. The doctor said because my circulation is good now. My legs are looking better in more than one way! :carrot: There are many good reasons to exercise. Many many good ones but this vein that haunted me for many years is almost non existent and I am surprised and happy.

Wow -- that is good news! Congrats!!

Varicose veins run in my family, my mom, my aunts, my cousins... I am 52 and have NONE, NADA :dance:... I attribute that to exercising since I'm 19 years old... At 19 I exercised less than I do now, but I was always doing something that circulated the blood in my legs, biking, walking, etc... Now I run and bike mostly... SO exercisce is definitely a good thang!!

That is good! I hope that if parts of me get smaller, those bluish veins will also not be so obvious.

That's fantastic! Congrats! :bravo:

Thanks. My mom has them and they are pretty bad but she hates to exercise. I told her about my veins reducing and she was happy to hear it and she did work out today! That;s a start at least.
