just me here
I just wanted to share my latest greatest re-discovery: Regular physical activity.
Like alot of people, I come home from work dog tired, and then do the home chores and maybe an hour online or TV and it's bedtime and do it again tomorrow.
My wife, however, is working a less physical job and doesn't split the wood or clear the brush at home, and was feeling the effects of a sedentary lifestyle before she was ready to get old. She has been swimming twice a week for 6 months, telling me I needed to try it.
I finally did, and it only took a few weeks and I was hooked. I bought us a family membership for her birthday, and we go 3 times a week now.
So, even if you think you are getting enough activity in your daily life like I did, there is still benefit in regular exercise and you are missing out on what is widely agreed to be great therapy for many of the pains we suffer. My therapists have told me many times that I needed to exercise regularly along with all the other homework they gave me. I wrote it off to them giving general instructions to my specific case and gave it no merit. Now I am feeling the results, I do think a little clearer, I do see things a little differently, I give myself a little more credit for trying just a little harder.
Take it or leave it, thats my post. I will be dating this thread for those that see it later on, but consider this a christmas present that I can send over the internet to you, and maybe consider it as a new years resolution for yourself. Of all the advice and training and therapy I have received, I have filtered out most of it as a waste of time but this advice I will pass on to you because it made it through my filter and is proving to be true. Merry Christmas!
