    Your best exercising tips:

    What are your best exercising tips:
    I use to walk (with an weight belt on), hang from a bar, various floor exercises, stretching, etc. Key word "use to". I need to get motivated to start back exercising. Help me with your ideas and best exercising/etc. tips. Thanks,

    Schedule it

    I always do better with exercise if it is scheduled. I could walk everyday or go to the pool and swim laps, but I don't.

    My family was very supportive--in fact pushing me out the door--when I started with water aerobics. I have been doing it for almost two years and now even the class harasses me if I miss it.

    If you don't want a group activity, ask a friend to exercise with you. I would suggest picking a partner that doesn't live with you. Too often, you can talk each other out of going.

    Good luck

      Thanks - I believe scheduling would be a good start for me.

      Yesterday I got an over-the-door bar from Walmart. My left hip has been bothering me for about 2 weeks now. I stretched on the bar last night and it was almost immediate relief.

      Ok - stretching - check

      Now what's next - what else should I add to my five minute exercise routine?

      Thanks,

            Hi dd-
            I try and do Pilates once a week and yoga once a week. I belong to a gym that offers these classes. I also walk on the treadmill or outside and do a weight training class - it's called Body Pump and you use a bar with weights and work all the major muscle groups, coordinated to music. It's great for strengthening and tightening everything - back, arms, abs, etc... I've found that (for me personally) I do best having a workout schedule and specific classes to go to.

            I've heard of a special yoga class just for scoliosis. Do you know anything about this? I need to look at some of the posts when I have more time and see if this specific type of yoga is offered in my area.

            Hope this helps!
