Mrs Croft · 02-29-2008, 03:27 AM

I am in

but you of course know that comes with the standard pic request

Beverly McD. · 02-29-2008, 04:57 AM

Cardio can be mind-numbingly BORING. Get some music going somehow if you can. Almost anything that will let you think about something other than what you're doing! LOL!

CK · 02-29-2008, 05:29 AM

To make cardio interesting for me, I always set a goal when I am on there, whether it be cals burned or a certain rate, it seems to keep my mind occupied, or there is always the TV or the kids yelling in the back ground LOL.

Hello! Hugs to you for hanging in there while BigSkyGuy goes to Iraq. We appreciate you guys!

How did you get whiplash? What do you do for rehab?

Kabeetz · 02-29-2008, 06:38 AM

Wishing you much success... you're gonna make a ton of progress by the time BSG gets back, you're both going to love it!!!

I ended up with whiplash from that triple-double-back-half-twist-hang ten jump on the sixtuplet black diamond

I wish! Actually I was just skiing along calmly and tripped on wet soggy snow.

It was one of those crashes that if you were observing you would wonder "how did they not break thier neck!" I couldn't breath or move for quite some time. I thought I was just a bruised up, but my neck didn't come around.

I went to a chiropractor-bad idea! He made me feel worse! Thats when I knew it was serious. I went in to our local neck and spine specialist twice a week for about 4-5 months, but then my sister died and I was distracted and depressed and I just didn't do my neck exercises outside of appointments. During doc visits she would push on my neck and do various other techniques. I used a tens (spelling?) unit almost daily for months. I use it occasionally now. I still hurt (not as bad) and am now willing to get some help again to do what I can for my neck. I haven't gone back the neck specialist yet. I need to make an appointment. Friends keep telling me that I will always have issues with my neck now. Yikes!

Thanks for asking.

Sorry to hear about your sister!

I hear you on the neck issues. I have had 3 surgeries since 1995 on my neck. I am still in recovery mode from the last one in November '07. I'm afraid your friends may be correct about lifetime neck/spine issues. BUT it is something that can be worked around. You will just have to be more aware of movements involving your neck and surrounding muscles. Do the rehab exercises ever cause you pain? Do they help? Sorry to be so nosy; I just get curious about other people with injuries similar to mine.

T-Cake · 03-01-2008, 07:39 PM

I'm in. Best of luck here with your goals. We

your BSG too, so anything you want to talk about, vent about, smile about, cry about -- you can talk to us too! It's not the same, but it's something, right? We're all family here.

Some of the exercises help. Some seem to make things worse. I have started doing the first one consistently for a week and I am waiting to see what happens if I am consisitent. I do not entirely have faith in them yet. The one I am doing now is laying down on a bed (or bench in the gym) then squishing my chin toward the floor and my neck then having my head rotate back toward the floor as far as I can and then turning to the left then right and back up. I do this for 10 reps goal of 3-4 times per day. After two weeks of consistency I will add in an appointment for monintoring and feedback and then the next excercise I am suppose to be doing. I am also trying to sit up right in a chiar instead of slouching.

Thanks for asking-ask away!

How did you hurt your neck? What do you do for your injury?
