The Do You Work Out Zone

[Gemme]

It sounds like you all are doing well. I, however, am completely frustrated. I've been sick since before Thanksgiving and will be sick until sometime after Christmas. I haven't gone to the Y because I don't want to spread anything and, even when I felt better, I still had a cough that I could not control.

So, I'm stuck with walking outside which, in this weather, turns my beaker on like a full force faucet.

Frustrated!

Ouch Gemme, I know how you feel with a cough you can not control. I finally broke down and went to the DRs. after not having a voice for 3 weeks, and I was given a fast acting inhaler for when my coughing got so bad I could not breathe. I am not asthmatic nor have I ever used one before but dang if it didn't help.

I would try walking at the Y. warm up your body and go slow. OR try yoga or even just dancing around your house while listening to fun music. Let your body heal but try to let it know you are ready for the healing by pushing it a bit more everyday.

it is amazing what you can do when you think you can !!!

Goodluck feeling better. Being Sick just plain sucks

Thanks. When I get to the point where I wouldn't feel bad or get dirty looks for being there (coughing and hacking and sneezing), I'll go back to the Y.

I don't know if I'm still contagious, but I can always spread stuff and my coughing fits are still pretty bad once they get going. It is starting to slow down a bit, so I'm hopeful it won't be too many weeks more now.

I have ants in my pants over this!

Sorry you have been sick Gemme. I am not sure what you have but it may be pretty safe to say you are probably not contagious any longer. Dirty looks I can relate to at the gym. I have asthma and I used to get very coughy in the
past while working out. I kept a towel with me and used that when necessary to cough into and such. I wouldnt worry about the dirty look, just go, enjoy, and feel good!

Thanks. I hear what you are saying and I'll probably bring my own towel with me when I do go back.

I'm thinking that when my coughs are less....productive....I will go.

It felt good last night to get back in to the groove of things at the gym. I hit the tredmill at a whopping 3.3mph last night.. no running yet but my hammie held up for almost the entire hour

I am hoping tonight will be even better... got to get my groove back before the "resolution" crew comes to the gym for the next three months...
