    I have been walking each day and today I mowed the yard for 80min. I want to start my weight lifting back up but my back has been giving me some pain. So does anyone have any suggestions on exercises that I could do to strengthen my back?? I felt great when I was lifting weights but I really don't want to make my back any worse. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Are you lifting in front of a mirror? Ensure you are lifting with proper form to reduce/eliminate pain.
    Also, try to foam roller at the end of your workout. It helps break down the tensed up muscle fibres (like a free massage). Also, stay hydrated!

    Best thing for the back is yoga! You can also do Superman's. Go on all 4 and raise one arm out and opposite leg behind you and hold for 10- 20 seconds and switch do 3-4 times. You can also do it with stomach flat on the ground.

    Hello All,
    I had an ok day, after coming off a 27 hr shift of being awake, I went out and went for a run and did some circuit training ( 55 mins) before sleeping for a measly 5 hours. I'm off to a graveyard shift again, have to go straight from there to a 48 hr shift tommorow, will see what kind of workout I can sneak in there. Hope you all are doing great, have a awesome weekend. T

    Just walking mainly yesterday and today. Bit down. Just lost motivation. Tired of getting crapped and dropped cause I choose to keep my information private. I don't get who I am hurting by doing so. If ones want to know something all they have to do is ask. I just don't see why I have to put myself out there for every person in the world to see if they want to.

    Makes me wonder who is going to drop me next??? Sorry just really down right now. But trying to keep moving and not turn to food like I would before. To hot to walk outside cause of my asthma. So not as much time being logged but trying.

    Been a little tough keeping up last couple of days with my crazy schedule. I've gotten exercise, but the body sure protests when it
    Hasn't had sufficient food and sleep. I am going to be happy when this month is over.. I refuse to give in or give up, going to whip this body into shape. Here's hoping I get some sleep tonight,and kick butt tommorow.

    Well been doing some walking the past couple days. However with it getting hotter harder for me to walk outside with the heat. So today some strength exercise and doing spring cleaning (yeah I'm behind) I know some don't think that as exercise. But believe me the way we do it it is. Basicly spring cleaning is a month long event at least where we rearrange each room of the house as well as do thru stuff and get read of things we haven't touched, used, or wore last season. So it is a major effort.
