Anyone NOT able to exercise?

[mokee 588]

If so how are you doing? I have extreme pain in my neck that is chronic and when I exercise it gets a lot worse. Even walking is so painful in my neck and head. Does not sound like that should effect me but it does. Has anyone that can not exercise found something they can do to tighten up all this loose skin? I look like a sharpei dog. But still glad to be rid of 82 lbs.

I don't have the energy to exercise...I am 3 months post-op...I think it has slowed my potential weight loss down...I try to walk in the evenings when I can, and I do plan to return to at least some moderate exercise at the fitness center soon (when the fall begins)...best of luck to you

i am so sorry you have neck problems that must be uncomfortable, painful

when i broke my femur 5 years ago - i found a tape for "seniors"

exercises sitting on a chair doing various exercises that "normal" people do, just in a chair

elevating your legs - arm weights - etc.

at the age of 54, that "S" word really bothered me but the tape was great, helpful - since i couldn't get around well

i've led a sheltered life

I don't know what a sharpei dog looks like

but, if the two of you look alike - then it must be cute as a button

84 lbs down!!!

you are aces!!!

lookin' good

keep up the good job

good luck

Okay I'm super lazy. I'm pre op. So I purchased 2 of those exercise stretch bands and started using that for my arms. I use it watching t.v. or at w5irk. It really does work. Good luck. Sorry you're in so much pain.

If you want I would be glad to get with some friends of mine (yoga teachers, and occupational/rehab specialist) and see what we could come up with. Focus on your legs and arms without straining your neck. It sounds like you need to just be very aware of what muscle sets you are activating in your routines, and then do the exercises carefully so they keep from activating the muscles you have injured.

Good luck, and I hope you are able to get to the root of the pain in your neck.
