RE: one more question - exercise

[Guest guest]

That intense of a workout is not good for your adrenals, which is why you

sometimes crash the next day. You may be using up all your cortisol and

getting a temporary adrenaline high, then crashing. I had that starting in

1990 until eventually I couldn't even work out anymore.

Yoga is GREAT for adrenals. Yes, the balance thing is an issue, but it will

get better as you practice and more healing occurs. Yoga and pilates are two

exercises recommended for adrenals and thyroid. I am starting up both again

(first the yoga). I don't know why I quit but will definitely get back in.

The other great exercise is getting a personal size trampoline and jumping

on it 15 minutes a day to get lymphatic flow going. This is good not only

for adrenals but a host of other things.

i have one more question - i joined a gym for the new year - i truely

enjoy it - i go after i get my son on the bus - i usually 45 minutes

of pretty intense cardio - followed by 15 minutes of sculpting/toning

exercise - i noticed - however - if i go to work i manage to hold my

stamina - however if it is my day off - i usually come home and crash

on the couch!!! i have read that cardio exercise is not best for low

adrenals - but sometimes i feel great! what are your suggestions -

should i add in some yoga (i do not enjoy yoga - i loss my balance -

but i'm willing to try again). let me know what you all think - what

do you guys do for exercise? i'd love to know! thanks again - stacy

Well, I'm exhasuted just from reading this post. I read it and thought, Oh,

I have a little trampoline I keep meaning to use. Maybe I'll get it out.

(Here I visualize myself jumping for 5 minutes). Exhaustion descends.

Excercise done for the day. Now I need a nap.

Was working out intensely for 3-4 days/week and feeling good during my

workouts, except for the flank and hip pain, but then crashing the

next day. I haven't worked out in three months since I started trying

to optimize thyroid on Armour and rebuild adrenals. I do intend to

continue a gentle yoga class and I would add to the bouncing on a

trampoline that you can even bounce on an exercise ball (on your

bottom, not your feet) to get things moving. I was given that to do

as an exercise for to rehab my back several years ago.

You might feel good because of adrenaline? And when you go to work your

adrenaline level stays high, but when you don't have to work, it

doesn't. Either way from what I read here and elsewhere, if you are

excercising and your adrenals aren't up to producing the extra cortisol

needed, you are actually not doing yourself any good.

What happened to me is what may happen to you, eventually everything

will fail, and you won't be able to excercise at all. As I can't and

haven't been able to do for years, haven't been able to work for over

ten years either. Looking back, I don't think all the excercise I could

do decades ago was making me healthy, it was just me running on

adrenaline, but at some point the adrenals can't even produce that, then

you are really in trouble.

Start with just gentle bouncing feet not leaving the tramp.

There is a way to do the bouncing in a doorway, too. hands on sides of

door opening, raise up on your toes, then drop down. This is supposed to

be excellent for detoxing and getting lymph moving.

Problem is there is a stage when even that is too much. I worked up to

being able to do ten, but could not progress to more than ten without my

calf muscles knotting up til I could hardly walk. I persisted for

several weeks but never increased any capacity. I think this is classic

adrenal fatigue symptom.

I think you were joking, but I really can get tired just thinking of an

activity.

Well, I'm joking but I'm being serious at the same time. :-) I really can't

imagine jumping for 5 minutes much less the 30 someone else mentioned. Just

thinking about it literally makes me feel tired all joking aside. Just about

any exertion at all wipes me out completely. If I wash the dishes, I have to

sit down and rest before I get all the way done. The last 2 days I've had

doctor appts. and errands to run. I'm pretty sure that tomorrow I'm going to

pay a price for it. The post Val did the other day about us pushing

ourselves when we feel a little energy and end up with the adrenaline rush

becaue we are trying to do too much. I'm not sure how I'm going to do better

with this though. It seems like if I can ever get myself going, I keep doing

the " I'll just do one more little thing " line of thought because there is so

much I need to get done and it is so hard to get going in the first place.

So doing a little bit here and a bit there doesn't really work either.

This thread is great. I finally feel understood. This has happened to me for

years. I

exercise and feel better because of the adrenaline (I assume), then crash 24-48

hours later

and feel worse physically and emotionally. Which brings up the question, why do

people

with adrenal fatigue not supplement with low doses of adrenaline? Is that even

possible? I

know athletes sometimes use (or abuse) adrenaline.

Adrenaline is not a healthy hormone to have in your body all the time.

It is hard on the nervous system and should only be produced when yiou

are in flight or flight mode. Why you feel better during exercise is

possibly cortiosl but then you use up all you have fo rthe day and your

adrenal have no more to give so then you lose all energy.

Oh, I should clarify, I can do ten separate bounces in a doorway. Only

takes a few seconds, not minutes. I couldn't do minutes worth.

I have improved from the point you are at, but not where I'd like to be.

And some days I have to rest after taking a shower still. But overall

I'm getting better but agonizingly slowly.

I do that because I am so desperately behind. If I get a good day, I

want to make full use of it. Guilt figures in too, because I haven't

done my share for umpteen years. It isn't fair for my husband to work a

physically and mentally stressful job, and have to come home and do

chores I should have done. So when I can get things done I overdo. Can't

help it. There is YEARS worth of stuff needing doing around here!

No advice or help, but I sure do relate to what you say.
