exercise

This website has been helpful to me for understanding and building back balance and core strength. The guy is either a trainer or therapist who explains physical issues that come up a lot in MS. Then he shows exercises to help those areas, many very simple to do. (Like doing them under a blanket! Which sounds goofy, but those of us with MS are nodding right now at what a good idea it is.)

Sometimes my wife and I watch together. One thing that completely convinced us he knows his stuff was when he did a certain walk to demonstrate one of his points - and she & I looked at one another in disbelief: It was exactly how I used to get around with my cane!

Here's the YouTube channel with a lot of free vids. I'm not a subscriber:

Start small and build up gradually. Take advantage of every opportunity to be active. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle by getting 20 to 25 minutes of exercise a day can reduce your risk of diabetes complications. Due to injuries and immobility, some patients can't do physical activities. Therefore, talk to your doctor about what physical activities are right for you and your health.

I absolutely SMASHED my steps goal today! My daily goal is 6000, so I’m well over. I feel quite tired, and a little bit sore… But I also feel good for it!

Last week, when I hit 10k, I was left in pain for days because I was stupid and didn’t respect my own limits. But today I did it slowly, bit by bit. Rather than doing it all in one go, alongside my sister who always speed walks, leaving me to practically jog to keep up with her, I took my time.

Today I went for three walks, at my own speed, and I took breaks during each walk. I also took my toddler nephew to the park, which we both really enjoyed.

Anyway… I just wanted to share something positive for a change, haha! I hope you’re all doing well. 😊

I did good today. I walked into the town centre with my sister and my nephew, AND walked back, too! Normally, I can only make it one way, so I’m super proud of myself. (Altogether it’s just under 3 miles).

AND, not only did I meet my daily step goal of 6,000… I also walked a further 3,096! I feel so good for it. I am so determined to lose this weight. I need to. I’m going to. I’ve got this! 💪
