There is nothing that I can do that does not hurt. BREATHING hurts. Nothing is worth this. Not even the ballerina's body that pilates promises me. Stupid stupid stupid...
you can do it.. see, I take care myself.. body mind and spirit, I feel bad though,cause I see how others dont wana take care themselves.. its the pollution you cant follow, be healthy,,, do it.. every little matters..
Yeah, I know. I always got through his every time I start up again. I won't give up... But it's still stupid. *pouts*
There’s no better feeling in the world than after a good workout. There’s a certain dynamism that flows throughout your entire body that makes you feel as if you’re virtually indestructible Hotwater
You can't give up that easily. Expect discomfort. That's ok as long as it's not injury. When I first started barefooting outdoors, it made the muscles hurt terribly in my legs and feet. I had trouble walking for a few days. After a few weeks, the muscle tone in my legs and feet improved greatly. I don't get soreness in my leg muscles anymore, and I walk through rocky creeks, climb up steep ravines, and stuff. Also, pilates is great. Those pilates machines can work so many different muscles. .
Yeah, sorry I never get that excited. I do enjoy the elevated energy levels I get when I make it a habit, though. I know, it just hurts and I don't like it. I get so sick of hearing "no pain no gain" I could tear the hair out of the people that grin so gleefully while reciting this tired cliche at me while I'm in agony. I'm not going to quit, but I'm not going to do a little jig over it. That's just weird. I'm in pain now. I'm living in the moment. It will pass. When I am not in pain, I will react accordingly. Pilates ARE great. Once my body adjusts to them. And I don't use machines. I just do the moves. I'm too poor to afford equipment atm, but it's okay. I always felt machines felt a little too impersonal for my taste. I'd rather use my own body weight and a few hand weights for now.
I'm just the opposite and If I was 10 years younger I'd take up the sport of free running https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZaxCXZgKaM"]YouTube- GUY JUMPiNG BUiLDiNGS Hotwater
lolz, I don't think I'm that depressed... and I've had a hell of a week. In fact, one of the reasons I decided to get back into working out is because I was a stressed out bundle of nerves. Sometimes working out hits a reset button on my brain so I can think straight again. I hear that's the endorphins. Whatever it is, I needed it. Not too crazy about the aftermath is all. I have to lug a heavy bag of books around campus, take exams and such, all on little to no sleep. I really did just need one more thing to bitch about, heh. But I chose it. *shrug* Hotwater, I'm happy for you. I've never been that strong, though. I'm working on it.
i agree that post-working out is the best feeling ever, but it's getting the motivation to work out that is the hard part. not helpful i know, but i feel your pain.
I feel your pain I just went for a run which I haven't done in a long long time now, and I was feeling great, but then I think I push it too far. By the end, I was dying
I love to run unfortunately when you have lupus it makes it very hard to do. I usually always feel pain even after just an 5 minute run. It hurts so bad!! I am sorry you are so sore, but is it worth it to you? is it bc you dont exercise that much or just bc you did too much? I hope you are feeling better today, overall in the long run exercise is the best we can do for our bodies besides what we eat. Take it easy today and let yourself heal before exercising again.
Sorry, but PILATES left you in this much pain??? It's about as taxing on your body as crossing the street. Are you sure you had your navel and coccyx aligned properly during the exercises?
It is amazing how many muscles in one body can hurt when when we do anything different than our normal activities. It does not take long for them to become accustomed to the change, thankfully. Keep up with your new regime, you can do it!
