Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Isn't kickboxing a bit aggressive, given as poorly as you have felt?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Good for you, ! Easy with the kickboxing...don't go too hard on yourself. I took Kung Fu 3x in my life...loved it. The last time I took it, my instructor politely said, " With your chronic neck condition and age, I would recommend you take Tai Chi. " My little kid inside said, NOOOO! I love kung fu...he was right, though. Every punch would aggravate my neck. I hope you do well and have fun!!

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi , Whatever works, do it. Just know your limitations and try not to push yourself beyond them - if it makes you feel better, it's great. Do they have different levels of kickboxing, like beginner, intermediate, expert?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I broke my ankle on my very first kickboxing class. That class was also my last!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 , I think you are on to something important here. I'm so glad to hear you are feeling better. I really think that movement is vital to recovering from implants--stretching, bending, moving the skin and muscles with massage, deep breathing either breathing exercises or just deeper than normal breathing from getting your heart rate up. Especially important from my own experience and other women's as well, is moving the chest and shoulders. Somehow it seems to keep the silicone which is settled in the chest and nearby areas from forming those 'masses,' that cause some women problems and sometimes must be removed surgically. It also seems to discourage the silicone from settling into the lymph nodes, flushes it out somehow and keeps it moving in the circulation where the body can use methods it has to remove 'litter' from the body fluids and flush it out through the kidneys. The 'problem' is overdoing and experiencing a recurrance of original symptoms such as pain and fatigue, which is discouraging and tends to keep the person from continuing on with a movement program. I think when that happens, and it will, it's important to rest up a bit, but get back to moving as soon as possible, taking it a little easier perhaps for awhile, but never stopping!! What you are doing is obviously good for you. If you get some return of pain and fatigue, don't give up! That's the main thing. Don't give up!

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Diane - I agree 100% . . .We must keep moving, regardless. Finding the balance between what we can do and can't do is essential. FM really sets in when one is not moving.diana crocker <dwcrn@...> wrote: , I think you are on to something important here.
