On my last follow-up appointment with my surgeon he said swimming helps with flexibility.
He told me this because I asked him what are the benefits of swimming and why he recommends it. I asked him:
-Is it because of cardio benefits, muscle building or what?
He said:
-Mainly for cardio, well, somewhat. For muscle building not so much.
And he added:
- to improve flexibility and to reduce stiffness
Then I asked him:
-Can I go to the pool everyday and do 5x100m for cardio?
He said:
- You don't need it.
So to sum things up, for an intense cardio work-out, swimming may not be the best exercise ( that was what I understood). Walking and indoor static bicycle may be better choices.
I was surprised.
But I want to return to the topic of this thread: flexibility and how to improve it.
What are your suggestions?
I used to trim all my body hair with clippers, now I am still afraid to do it.
Do girls over here have difficulty doing legs depilation or intimate care after a thoracic fusion?
What tasks that required flexibility seemed to be easier to do before the fusion and now seem to be more difficult?
