Hi, there is already a group "fit after 50". Why don't you come join us instead of making a new group. The more the merrier.

There is always room for more groups. Anyone here on "55 And Over" is welcome to come on by to "Fit After 50!" also. I now belong to both groups. Hope to get a lot of support and share knowledge!

Samantha I noticed you reported having atrial fibrillation. I was just diagnosed with this and am going through some more testing and medication. Heard about a study done at University of Kansas Medical Center using Yoga 3 times a week (in addition to medication, not in place of) to help minimize episodes. Might be something youll want to check out. I'm getting ready to sign up for classes at my local YMCA:flowerforyou:

Thanks "housegirl2". My episodes used to be very infrequent. Two or three times a year. It's only been this last 6 months that they have become frequent. I'm talking to my doc this week. So far I don't use any meds. A beta blocker during attacks, that's all.
