Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 Hi gang: I know many of us cannot exercise without flushing terribly, but for those who dont - do any of you notice improvement when you do light to moderate exercise routinely? I love light to moderate weight bearing exercise. I normally spend about half hour 4 times a week doing such things as push-ups, sit- ups, lunges, calf press, and lifting weights heavy enough to tone and build slightly, but not super heavy. The biggest motivation for me doing this is that it IMPROVES my rosacea. It's as if by using my muscles I'm using up some substance in my body that causes my rosacea to worsen. The more I lift, the more of it is used up; this is how i imagine it, anyway. Anyone have this experience? Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 maybe some people's rosacea improves with exercise because you get yoru blood flowing to other parts of your body like the extremities rather than the face.. . since so much of rosacea is " increased blood flow to the face " (again,quoting dr nase's book!) perhaps if we exercise our blood will start flowing around to other parts. idont know about you guys but i have extreeeeemely cold hands and feet, slight raynauds now. much worse than before i had rosacea. wish i could do situps but every time i do i look like a tomato .same with pushups. .so i stick to some light dumbbells and leg exercises. i also have one of those feet massage roller thingys that i move my feet across to bring the blood flow down if i'm going to be sitting down for long periods of time. > Hi gang: I know many of us cannot exercise without flushing > terribly, but for those who dont - do any of you notice improvement > when you do light to moderate exercise routinely? > > I love light to moderate weight bearing exercise.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 I exercise for 1 1/2 hrs 5x a week in the gym and love it. i never flush while im in there, mainly because of the a/c but i do work hard and generally look a damn sight better than people who don't have this problem. i think exercise is so important not only for health reasons but also to bulid self confidence as this condition can make a large dent in our self esteem. I guess in terms of severity my condition would be nominal, so perhaps this has a bearing on how i fare, but i just wanted to say how much better i feel after a work out ;0) > Hi gang: I know many of us cannot exercise without flushing > terribly, but for those who dont - do any of you notice improvement > when you do light to moderate exercise routinely? > > I love light to moderate weight bearing exercise.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 -I agree with a lot said in the above posts,excercise is very important,I excercise in a very cold gym with fans blowing on me,and I lift heavy weights, 4 times a week.I prefer to do my cardio at home,I flush more during cardio.excercise is so good for overall health,and self esteem ,many people without rosacea flush while they excercise too!!!!!!!!!! so you can kinda blend in. -- In rosacea-support@y..., " madamzara " <PBVAssociates@a...> wrote: > > > I exercise for 1 1/2 hrs 5x a week in the gym and love it. i never > flush while im in there, mainly because of the a/c but i do work hard > and generally look a damn sight better than people who don't have > this problem. i think exercise is so important not only for health > reasons but also to bulid self confidence as this condition can make > a large dent in our self esteem. > > I guess in terms of severity my condition would be nominal, so > perhaps this has a bearing on how i fare, but i just wanted to say > how much better i feel after a work out ;0) > > > > Hi gang: I know many of us cannot exercise without flushing > > terribly, but for those who dont - do any of you notice improvement > > when you do light to moderate exercise routinely? > > > > I love light to moderate weight bearing exercise.
