Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Over the past year and a half I've lost about 35-40 lbs, all from exercise and portion control. Well, recently I hit a plateau and so I've changed up my workout routine. One of this changes is doing some ab exercises. I began with 75 reps on Tuesday and did 100 reps yesterday and I am SO sore today! *lol* Anyone have suggestions for this list mom who hurts to laugh, cough, stretch or anything that involves my midsection moving? *Smile* Chris ( list mom - out of coffee, looking out the window at a VERY foggy morning that I have to go drive in in a few - I'm gonna take my camera and get pictures of .. gray *lol* ) 100% Organic Pure Olive Liquid Soap http:// www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Anyone have suggestions for this list mom who hurts to laugh, cough, stretch or anything that involves my midsection moving? Try grating some fresh ginger root, make a strong tea, dump tea in bath. Or use ginger EO if you have that. Also: Recovazon is perfect for this. I'll be glad to send you a sample. Yeah, I sell that one. Ien in the Kootenays http://ienvan.multiply.com (blog) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hmmmmm. You want ab exercise suggestions or pain relief? Pain relief... a warm woobey, a hot bath works wonders or a little blackpepper in olive, FC or etc. oil. Ab exercises... I actually have some suggestions there too. ;-) If you want them.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Congratulations on your loss. If my abs were sore from too much exercise, I'd be soaking in a hot bath laced with a couple cups of epsom salts and some drops of juniper and helichrysum, and maybe some red mandarin to make it a little lush. Then I'd put nice warm jammies on and sleep on it. However, even though I have also lost 35 pounds this year, I am at very little risk of over-exercising. :-) Mary Sahs, ND www.marysnatural.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Oh, babe, I know how you feel! Try some gentle (VERY gentle!) stretching, along with keeping the complaining muscles nice and warm. Warm compresses/heat pads should help, too. Hot tubbing will help, too. But don't overdo it! When you start to feel better, you can add back your new exercises, but do them gently and with many fewer reps. You'll need to build back up -- 75 and 100 were probably too much to start with all at once; I'd go with 15-20 3x/day for a day or two, then up it to 30-40 for a few days, then 50-75 after that. And, as many a doc has told me when I have gotten sports-related owies " If it hurts, STOP " . Soft tissue damage, including muscles, tends to take a while to heal if you think you did serious damage. Staying warm will definitely make you at least feel better. Good luck, and congratulations on the weight loss! Karen Over the past year and a half I've lost about 35-40 lbs, all from exercise and portion control.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 And the most simple, why did I not think of it right away: an Epsom salt soak! Dirt cheap and it works wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I want to thanks everybody for their encouraging words and soreness suggestions. Being that I am changing up the workout routine, and including more strength training (lost much fat, now its time to tone it all up I'm sure I'll be using ALL of them *lol* Today its my chest and triceps that are the sore muscles. Next week I'll redeem my coupon for a free personal trainer session. After that I'll be REALLY sore I'm sure!! *Smile* Chris (list mom) I'm Dreaming Of A White Rose Christmas Certified Organic Alba Rose Hydrosol A Most Precious and Rare Gift To Give http://www.alittleolfactory.com , " Ieneke van Houten " <ienvan wrote: > > And the most simple, why did I not think > of it right away: an Epsom salt soak! > Dirt cheap and it works wonders. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
