Have had both hips replaced, the 2nd 2yrs ago. I’m still in pretty constant pain from that; the pt exercises too painful to do. Suggestions? Also may be having some foot surgery in the Spring, suggestions on that for exercise.
The very best type of exercise for people in your condition is considered to be water aerobics. Beyond that, low-impact pilates and floor exercises where you work your arms and abs are recommended.
Would that I had time. Across town, requires Dr prescription, would stop me from doing (for me) volunteering work at hospital. I do that 3-5 times a week., going to get serious about my weight & hope to start walkikng. Thanks for the suggestions.
I am a volunteer myself and you have to say NO sometimes with your hip problem you are only making things worse
fahdutnik do you have in America a pensioner concession where your Doctor can reccomend you for Water aerobics
Hi, BMEC. The advice to not walk was meant specifically for someone with hip and knee problems. In general, walking is an excellent form of exercise.
I get alot of hip/knee/toe joint pain because of the beginnings of osteoarthritis and my doctor has advised me to do low impact exercise such as swimming, cycling, pilates. I can guess that the same would apply to someone who has joint replacement. Hope that helps.
Any excercise advice for a Type 1 Diabetics who has had laser treatment to the eyes for retinopathy and has neuropathy in the feet? Otherwise, eats very well balance meals and performs light exercise about 30 minutes a day. Diabetic is about 10 lbs. overweight. Is reformer pilates generally approved for this situation?
Hi, HealthyKaren. Yes, the Pilates Reformer is recommended for diabetics (both types), and is any type of pilates.
i have lupus and a bad back. i cannot have any green tea or and type of goat products. i do exercise as much as i can. what do i need to do overcome the limits.
Hi, Wendy. Hopefully you are under the supervision of a qualified health care professional. Water aerobics are considered ideal for people with physical limitations. You can also try a pilates class – for many people, pilates is the answer for exercise with a bad back.
As for the foods, do be sure to get good amounts of omega-3s and antioxidants from fresh fruits and vegetables.
