Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 I disagree that exercise is bad for rosacea people, however, we do have to be careful. I still go to the gym three times a week and take a yoga class twice a week. I pace myself and when I feel I'm getting too warm I back off. I still flush a bit, but it's not extreme and after my workouts my skin looks better. I wouldn't recommend giving up exercise, just do so in moderation.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2002 Report Share Posted June 12, 2002 Personally, I've been working out for over year on weights and treadmills. My rosacea hasn't cleared up at all, but exercising doesn't make it worse. It used to, but more than anything the extra confidence I've gotten from getting in shape keeps me from being embarrased while working out, so it keeps the redness down. I will say that swimming does aweful things to my face though, and I do try and avoid that. IMHO, work out - the benefits of being in shape outweigh (for me) the slight extra flushing I incur. I would recommend trying not to think about the redness, or at least don't worry about it. Breakouts for me are very psychological. Retford Carrara Extensions www.losthorizonsoftware.com Digest Number 1373 I know that exercise in general is NOT good for people with cea because it causes more flushing. However, I read that people who do aerobic exercises for long time, develop lower blood pressure and lower resting heart rate. Also exercise helps people to coupe easier with stress. So lets see, aerobic exercise = lower blood pressure, lower resting heart rate, less stress. *Seems* like a pretty good thing for people with cea. So should we exercise or not??? I personally love swimming long laps in the pool, but altho the water in the pool is pretty cold... everytime I get out of the water my entire face is pink, almost red. I havent been swimming for too long. Im really confused whether I should stick with swimming and hope that overtime my health will improve in general (blood pressure/heart rate/etc) OR I should forget about any type of exercise completely until my skin doesnt flush anymore... I love exercise, I used to spend hours each and every day at the GYM lifting weights, why I stopped? Because of cea, all those weights were making my skin progressivly redder and redder, so I pretty much gave up on GYM. Now Im swimming in the pool to stay in shape... but even swimming in cold water still causes my skin to blush... So now what, should I give up on swimming as well???

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 I spoke to my derm specifically about exercise. She recommended that if I am really careful about the other triggers, I may be able to get away with being lax with one or two. In other words, if I am good to my skin, perhaps a little exercise wont hurt. So far, the only think I have to be careful about is exercise in the sun (darn doxycycline!), and exercise in hot rooms. - Nimeera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
