YEA SUE!!! Don't you just love it when your in the groove? I feel so much better when I exercise regularly that i just don't understand why I let so many things get in the way. Keep it up!!!

I am so afraid of loosing my momentum that I am making my self have the time to exercise (I went this am too)
thanks I do feel somuch better when i do exercise!!!

i've been such a slug this week, but only about posting!!!!! <gotcha!!!!>

i've walked at least 1.25 miles every day this week except for wednesday [ozone alert and too humid] and yesterday [very early morning appt with eye doc].

and today, i think i did 1.5 miles!!!

and i made the pulmonologist happy on wednesday when i told him what i'd been doing, and also when i told him that i didn't do it on humid ozone days. [he said that there was no sense being STUPID about this!!!].

if only he weren't happily married!!!!

Jiff: Have you ever tried Oxycise? It's a great exercise program combining deep breathing exercises with isometric positions. I know I'm not a doctornot ever a nurse !!! (but I did work in a billing office :lol: but I think this would be great for your pulmonary function. It teaches you how to exercise and use your whole lungs when you breath. They have a series called Easy Does It that I bought for ole Alvin when he couldn't don much more that sit in his chair. The regular set is very good. The urls for them are Oxycise.com and oxyciseplus.com also we have an Oxycise thread here at 3FC under the exercise heading. Check it out and if you are interested PM me. I have bought so much from them that I have a few extra tapes and I'd be glad to send you one. That goes to anyone else who is interested. Just PM me with your info, and I'll send you a tape, as long as they last.

I've been doing my Oxycise aloong with my rehab exercises. I've been doing them from the bed!!!

Adoanne: You don't think I could do the Cardiosculpt fromm the bed or the recliner? BUMMER:idea:

Are yall all ready for me to get well, get a life and leave yall alone!!! Nah, I'm not bored...

what a great idea!!! i'll check it out and get back to you...

Jiff I have been very impressed with those infomercials. There is one guy on the oxycise pluss web site that is a regular on the PP board. we call him mud duck and well he is absolutly amazing. so i say go for it. It worked for him (combo) so i think it could workf great for you especially as barb says the lung capacity. some folks that i know tried it say you make funny faces when doing it but who cares i guess some of those thingsyou can do driving while waiting for a light?? i think that would be better to have some one look over ans see you making all kinds of funny faces instead of picking you nose (have you ever seen that) well i am getting off topic. but my guess is try it!!

Oh i did exercise yesterday I amnot sure what i am gong to do today I have a very busy filled morning and afternoon. so i have no idea if i get time to eat but i make time to come here!!

Hi Guys!! I did the Arm workout from the Firm tape today with 3lb. weights and then did the 3 mile Walk Away Tape===I feel "tingly". I think that's a precursor for sore. :rolleyes:

Hey Barb, you can do Cardiosculpt from your recliner, but somehow I don't think the results will be quite the same. ;) That Oxycise sounds really cool--going to look at those sites.

Jif, good job on keeping it up on the walking and increasing your distance!

Sue, your determination is going to keep you going with this exercise--I know it!!

Good job everyone!! Take care. :wave:
