Re: Exercise advice

[herpymcderp]

To be perfectly honest, the best thing you can do for yourself is just ...go for a short walk with someone. After being ill there are a whole lot of systems that are out of wack, and if you do inadvertently collapse you don't want to be in a pool while you're at it.

Yoga might be all right depending on whether or not you've had surgery recently. If you have, it's not generally recommended. It's low impact, yes, but it's a lot more intense than people imagine it to be. Hence why starting out with a low intensity, low impact activity (like walking) is the best way to safely build up endurance and strength after illness.

Thanks! Yeah, I think I need to scale it back at least to begin with. I was originally planning a swimming/yoga/swimming/yoga/swimming/day off approach. Think I'll replace most of that with short walks to start with and see how I go.

No surgery, but I am expecting yoga to be more intense than it used to be.

Do you think a couple of weeks of short walks every day and then start to up the ante? Maybe increase the walk length on alternate days and then slowly introduce yoga/swimming?

Thanks again, much appreciated.

Do what you can without pushing yourself so far you're above a pain level of 5 or you begin feeling faint. That's my best advice there, honestly.

Recovery is hard and feeling weak is probably the most demoralizing part, so I know there's a big temptation to push yourself, but just remember that if you injure yourself you'll only be back to square one. Good luck.
