Guest guest Posted January 27, 2000 Report Share Posted January 27, 2000 Hi All Now I am not any expert, but the books tell us that we should rest an inflamed joint, then once the severe inflammation has wilted, exercise it. Well I used to do this, rest it for a maxim of three days, before jump starting it again. Is it possible to do harm through over exercise? Well coming from one who has calcification, the obvious answer is YES! What is my exercise regime? Well I wake with 30 kilos of Labrador on me! Hermes knows that as soon as I flinch, I am awake, so pounces! Trying not to be licked to death first thing in the morning, is one way of jump starting the joints! It then takes me between one to one and half hours to " Warm Up " , washed, dressed, fed and feed Hermes. Now the winter means no outside grass mowing, so I tend to concentrate on the tasks in hand. Unless we are out shopping or I am off for my massage, the day is spent vacuuming up dogs hair, dusting, cleaning and polishing! I used to play " Queen " , " I Want to break FREE " , but now I have switched to Cher! So while manoeuvring the vacuum around the home, the body is jerking to the music. It keeps you fit, honest! After that and before I prepare the meal of the day, I take Hermes for her three mile walk. If it is raining, well we miss the town park due to mud, so the walk will be reduced to one mile. Then dinner, lots of exercise stirring, pulling, throwing, before we sit down to eat. Washing up is Moms chore as I do not like getting the hands too wet in the soapy water. The evening then is spent usually writing, before fighting Hermes for MY side of the bed and sleep! The summer is more exhausting, as there are longer hours and gardening!
