Strength training & exercising

[Guest guest]

I noted that shortly after lifting light-moderate weights as part of

my strength training program that my face developed flashed. I want

to build bone mass to reduce my risk of osteoporosis. I'm assuming

weight lifting is not recommended for rosacea, so I'm wondering if

there's anything I can do to reduce the inflammation while

maintaining a moderate program? Note that I'm not lifting heavy

weights; in the range of 10-18 lbs.

The only rosacea product I'm currently using is Avene's Diroseal. It

doesn't seem to be doing anything to reduce flushing, but it may be

too early to tell since it may require 3 months of regular use from

what I've read.

I'm also thinking of starting to do a walk-run program to help with

weight loss. The objective is to increase my heart rate to burn body

fat, but this seems to be contrary to what's recommended for rosacea

on any websites I've been reading where they recommend easy paced

exercise in blocks of 20 minutes or less. Even if I don't work out

to lose weight, I'm stuck with lower leg pain if I don't. (I assume

it's circulatory in nature although my GP hasn't been too

interested.) Anyone have any suggestions for exercising at a high

enough rate to elevate a heart rate while avoiding flushing?

You stole the questions out of my mouth! I, too, was going to ask about

exercise. At the moment, I am going through a somewhat inactive period, but

normally I try to swim once a week, go to the gym (sometimes) and I do a lot

of walking.

I was planning to return to the gym and to swimming, but I guess I will have

to put this on hold. I assume that swimming would definitely be problem, and

as far as other exercise goes - my problem is that I turn red really easily.

It has always been my problem, since my teen years, when I played basketball

actively. I am very fair skinned, and it does not take too much exercise and

I look like I am ready for a heart attack. I can try to do a very low level

of exercise, but I am afraid will have little effect in terms of weight

loss.

I do a lot of walking, because I have 3 greyhounds and winter is over, I

walk them every day. I try to do a " power walk " , and my usual route takes me

about a 35-40 minutes. Just on Saturday, I hesitated whether we should go or

no, because it was fairly windy, but I did go. I am wondering if this is all

I will restricted to.

You can try lifting the weights slowly and taking

breaks when you start to flush. Drink lots of water. I

noticed when I put a damp, cold wash cloth on the back

of my neck while I work out, it keeps the flushing

down.

- I do the same workout you're describing. When I walk/run

indoors on the treadmill I have a small fan that clips to the front

and when I begin to feel too warm I turn it on. When the weather is

cool I walk/run outside. I don't use free weights but have a

machine (basically resistance training I guess its called) and I

lift (alternate days and lift at least three days a week) in my

basement where it is cool. I also have a floor fan that I use if I

begin to feel too warm. I've been following the lifting/walking

program for over three years now. I had a bone density test last

fall (I'm 55) and my doctor was amazed at how good it was. I

attribute that to my exercise program. The added benefit of building

muscle is that you don't have to watch your diet quite so closely

because muscle uses more calories than fat. I have a better, more

fit body than I did when I was 25! I am a big booster of weight

training for women. If you stick to a program it does wonders! My

rosacea began full force when I embarked on a power-walking program

several years ago. I was fine until the weather turned warm and

whammo - flushing, acne the whole shot. I was afraid I was going to

have to give up the exercise but just got resourceful and made it

work for me! Good luck - Sue
