    I've also had trouble with my siatica caused mainly by running.

    In my case, and in a lot of runners, it is caused by overtight glutes and leg muscles. That's why a lot of physios and chiros recommeded a lot of stretching and ab exercises. If you can build your core muscles and loosen your leg and butt muscles it tends to come right.

    I think like most people I never truly stretched before or after running or doing any exercise. Like someone else I also found that Pilates was good - as it just became another more fun way to stretch.

    I finally got to run today after a 3 day marine biology camping trip with my son and @ 70 other 6th graders. I went 3 3/4 mi in 40 min. Talk about stress relief!

    I've only done half a mile due to being addicted to my Wii Fit (did an hour on it today).
    Great job ladies!!!!! I admire each and every one of you.

    Is that your new pup??? Soooooo cute. What is his name?

    Tell us more about the Wii fit.....what types of activities do you do, calories burned, etc......
    Yup, we got him about 2 weeks ago.
    His name is Buster.

    The Wii Fit is very addicting!
    There are several exercises: running (jogging in place), yoga (Love it!), strength training ( leg extensions, pushups, situps, jackknife, lunges, squats & more), hula hooping (very good for the core), aerobics using the Wii board as a step, it teaches you how to improve your balance & posture (it detects your stabilty and teaches you how to correct it) and so much more!

    It was hard for me to get an actually calorie burnt total since I don't have a HRM yet so I entered it one by one (wasn't sure on the amount of time on each so I might be off on some). I burnt 136 calories in 45 minutes. Doesn't seem like much but I'm positive it was way more than that. Can't wait to get a HRM to know exactly how many cals I burn.

    I can definitely feel soreness in my abs & thighs.

    ~Joanna:flowerforyou:

    You might want to enter it in under:Calisthenics (pushups, sit-ups), vigorous effort, a lot more calories burned. :smile:

    I ran for the first time today in my run/walk club. We are training for a 5K. I joined thinking I would never be able to run but today we did 4 miles and I ran one mile! I'm so excited! :happy: Hope you all have a great weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!
