Being on the feet all day I find it a good practice to elevate the legs for a min of 1/2 hour a day. Helps get the blood flowing the other way. It does hurt like a bitch so donât start with 90 degrees right awayâŠwork up with just resting on a large cushion.
Iâm actually looking at this tens compressin thing for legs to get with my HSA. Itd be a game changer. I used to get hamstring and leg cramps really bad to where itâd wake me up out of my sleep. Magnesium has helped with that too.
Yes to those too⊠I love my TENS unit but didnât think to use on my legs âŠa compression thing may be a different item âŠIâll look into it . thanks for this
The benefit of keeping legs elevated helps to make sure you donât get popped veins (especially in old age).
Iâm walking lots and lots, over 15k steps up and downhill and thru bogs every day. Did twenty minutes yoga yesterday as well and Pilates stretching. I am on holiday so just a lot of walking for me this week.
Thanks brother. I got 4 different routines dialed in now for winter. I like it to be easy pleasy. Walk down to gym and just do, no thoughts⊠those 4 should carry me for 3 months at least. Of course Iâll amp up reps and or weight as required. But these are the exercises.
Each takes approximately an hour.
Finally joined a gym after many years. Today was day one. I went early since I didnât want to meet other people. My trainer seems like a nice guy, but he is half my age. Makes me feel very old. Feeling great after the workout. Endorphins can get you high
Thanks Jazzy. I am feeling quite good after the workout. It is a huge change from the self loathing, I felt a few weeks ago. I was not a happy alcoholic.
Exercise is helping me deal with stress and anxiety. Draining out the bad energy.
I have anger and other issues that I need to deal with, according to my doc. If I was younger, I probably would have taken up kick boxing, or MMA like my son (I got a brochure for a Thai kick boxing course, just in case ).
