I'm thinking that FREE Y membership hurts just as much as paid...i still have to move and stretch.

i met "Tom Terrific" who showed me just 3 exercises to help my arms and shoulders. i can do them with free weights at the Y or with cans of veggies at home. All 3 can be done while leaning on a chair or sitting on a chair. i'm supposed to practice every other day until i go back next week to show he how i am doing.

He also invited me his "Senior gentle yoga" class. i may go to see what it is like.

(Tom Terrific competes in the Ironman thing in Hawaii. I won't even talk about all the great eye candy i saw while i was there this morning.)

LOL! You will come to hate him! I had people call me all kinds of names when I first got them started in lifting. See if you can find any books by Joyce Vedral. I am sure they will help.
You will like the yoga to help work out those sore muscles.

My body does NOT do pretzels! Nor does it balance on one foot or stand on its head.

*Big grin* You will enjoy it because it will make you feel good.
No one will make you bend like a pretzel while standing on one foot. But you will take on poses designed to relax and stretch your body gently. After lifting it will be a pleasure to do a yoga class the next day. I always stretch after lifting.

Then that means you also stretch BEFORE lifting, right? (If it is alternate days)

You need to lift one day and yoga the next. But it is a good idea for gentle stretching after lifting.

I'm a mean evil demon so I'm gonna try to make fluffy think about exercise one more time today:

Slow controlled movements, above all else in working out, go for slow carefully controlled movements . . .. You will reduce your risk of injury & you will increase the 'exercise efficiency' of whatever you're doing . .. . .

Ignore all the others rushing to get their work-outs done, or whatever, & think about all those tai-chi people, moving slowly, carefully, precisely . ... . .

Try it for yourself: do a bicep curl or something very simple -- do a few reps fast & sloppy, don't worry about form; versus doing a few repetitions very very slowly, watching your 'form' precisely . . . . . . Notice how much harder it is to do the exercise slowly . . .. . Notice how much faster the burn comes on . . . .. .

The fast rushing types are not getting as much out of their work-out as the slow careful types . . . . .

The above is especially true of weight-lifting . . .. . . But it's true of most athletic endeavors; my favorite athletes are professional dancers, & dancing at that level is all about precise use of their instruments, that is, their bodies . .... . .

Ummmm, yep, I am the demon who likes working out . .. . . ..

Tom Terrific said to move the first part to a 2 count and then return with a slower 4 count. Is that what you are talking about?

Yes, absolutely, I'd interpret that to be a method he uses for helping the student to move in a controlled manner . . . . .

You can even try making it a 3 & a 6 count, to slow the movement down a little more, see if you can feel the effort increase . . . . .

But do stick with only pushing yourself a little bit at a time, gentle gradualness is a good thing in easing into exercise for life . . . . .

There are as many styles as there are goals for lifting. I like to lower the weight slow and push fast. I don't do isolated moves but compound lifts.

I am thinking I got to finish my gym this weekend!
