Qigong

I am starting a new class this week.  Summer is over and the pool is closed so its time to try something new.  My local rec is offering Qigong. A mix of tia chi and yoga.  Went to my first standard yoga class last week and was surprised at what I could do!

It inspired me so much that I took a step class and actually used the sep..previously I could not use the step.  Just proves that I am getting healthier with each lb dropped.  Now I am going to begin working on balance, tone,strength..and evening out my body.  one thing I have noticed is that one side of my body is stronger than the other.

Learning abut my new body is awesome and I am ready to keep testing it.

AWESOME!!!!! So proud of all that you are accomplishing! You are doing great! I need to get in more exercise than I currently have been. The pain I had been having prior to my hyst kept me from doing alot, then healing from hyst. BUT I am ready to get back at it with some gusto.
Thinking of doing a bit of bile riding for late summer and fall, with some power walking mixed in. My daughter really wants me to go to the YMCA with her, I just am BAD about that. Don't like driving all the way there and back, nor the competition of finding a machine to use.

Keep up the great work!

That is so awesome!  Congratulations - I'm really proud of what you've done and are doing!

Let me know how the Qigong is for you - it sounds like something I'D like to try too!!!

Sounds interesting Ledaizey, let us know how you like it.  We had someone come to the last support group meeting at the hospital where I had my surgery lead us through a zumba class.  That was a lot of fun, didn't matter if we had the steps or arm moves down well, as long as we were moving.  I have at least 4 left feet, lol.  I am looking to see if there is a class locally, drove an hour one way for the group meeting.  That is too far for day to day exercise. 

I have been adding stair climbing to my exercise routine.  Getting easier to go several flights without that 'rubber leg' feeling.  Keep up the good work.  Hugs
