I have a chronic issue with my IT Band. I also have knee issues. I am no longer a runner, and I am a cyclist. 6 days before my first century bike ride, I had a severly inflamed IT Band, got a cortizone shot, did PT needless to say, I did not do the century. My goal is to do one this year, however, I once again had a severly inflamed IT Band, I start PT again tomorrow and will also go for a deep tissue massage for it.....UGH.....i am so frustrated..........i need helpView Thread
One easy strategy is to try to get as many different colors of fruit and vegetable on your plate as you can at each meal, as the colors coincide with different chemical makeups within each plant. It is the overall concept of having plants of all types form the bulk of your calorie consumption that leads to long-term health (and then reducing that calorie consumption to sane levels!)View Thread
When you're not feeling like working out, what do you say to yourself so that you do it anyway? I tell myself that I'll feel bad if I don't. I want lots of energy during the day (a workout in the morning does that for me), and I also plan my day with my early morning run. No distractions, time to myself, and my brain getting blood to help me think clearly. In fact, I'm just about to go now.
If I don't get out of bed and do it then I know it all day. I don't like that feeling, so I do it. And of course, once I do, I feel good.
How about you?View Thread
I bought 3 close loop resistance bands in difference colors/strengths, not realizing that they were on the small side. I was actually looking to get the longer ones but made a mistake of buying the smaller ones. Can't seem to find more than one or two exercises that use their small bands. I remember you had posted some links in the past using resistance bands, can you re-post and maybe there are some exercises there that I can actually do with these?
Thanks!

On the stationary bike front, there are people who like the recumbent bikes, or the classic seated exercise bikes, but most people end up preferring the spin bikes. They have a more natural feel, and spin class is a great way to get a low-impact but high-intensity workout.
The other nice thing about biking is that you can easily transition to outdoor biking as the seasons change, which is a great way to both get healthy exercise and spend time outdoors.
My own favorite is the good old fashioned NordicTrack Skier. It's simple, indestructible, and provides a great workout.View Thread

In dinner i take 2 chapatis with vegetable and salad.
I take 2 cups of green tea in a day.
Please help in making my exercising schedule and diet planView Thread
So far I have lost 10 pounds from just walking in the vest for a month plus body is more toned and my endurance is much better and I can walk longer- when I walk without the vest I feel light as a feather and like I can walk for hours and so easily see this vest nyknyc.comView Thread
I have been using the "Brock Lesner workout" that can be found online for the past two months and looking for a change. Does anyone know where I can go to find new workouts without having to pay a fee. Does the Blue Shield webpage have a link? Looking for something intense on free weights.
Thanks!View Thread
I used to be kinda hyper and able to accomplish lots during a day, but lately after I exercise I am just washed out. Fatigue sets in and its all I can do to stay wake. I am exhausted mentally and physically. Things that were once a breeze to do now take so much mental and physical effort. This condition continues for hours. I have tried to give in to the feelings and try to go back to sleep but cannot, Im wide awake.
Its usually not until the late afternoon I regain my normal momentum.
On days when I dont exercise I am at my normal self.
I know exercise is good for me and I really enjoy working out with my friends but seems my body is having some problems. Any suggestions as to what my be causing this?
About me. I am in pretty fit condition, get plenty of sleep and Im not under a lot of "bad" stress. I usually workout 1 hour in morning doing Zumba type exercises. I am 50 years old and taking hormones for menopause, no other meds. I usually eat a little something before exercise then breakfast afterwards.View Thread

My latest "diet" has me wearing a body bug to track how many calories I burn on a daily basis. Most days I consume around 1,500 -1,600 calories and I burn between 2,800 and 3,000 calories. I document everything that goes into my mouth, get eight hours of sleep a night and drink more than the recommended eight glasses of water a day. My diet consists of the recommened amounts of fruits and vegetables and I limit my sugar intake. All of my other "numbers" are at the normal level. I've spoken to my doctor about the issue and have tried all of her suggestions. I have had a thyroid test done in the past and it reveals my thyroid is functioning normally.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what my problem could be or what I should be talking with my doctors about? I appreciate any feedback. Thank you.View Thread
It's good, real food and I am down 24 pounds and have energy again so who can complain about that. I struggle but am able to get right back on track with this awesome plan and love it. Take care everyone and happy New year!View Thread
As a youth it was not so bad, but as I have gotten older heat is a major issue. I live in a cooler area near the beach, and even with that I try to stay out of the sun.
I can get sick from heat even in the shade. When I would go to a concerts in September for the day with an outside, temp about 80 degrees, with a breeze. The heat would just stay in my body. then headache, nausea, not usually vomiting.
Lately if to much heat it causes Hot Red Face, hot all over and sometimes increased heart rate, then I come inside, I put a medical type gel ice pack on my Upper chest, under the bustline, to cool my core, and organs and on the back of my neck. This helps a lot and I return to normal. The issue is this can happen in less than 15 to 20 minutes in direct sun, or a little longer in the Shade if hot outside.
Sometimes if I get to hot at night and my stomach starts to churn, I even lay an additional pack on my stomach. then I can go back to sleep.
The overheating also cause me to feel inflamed and my joints hurt, then I take Advil. So I have many symptoms like you others describe, but none come FROM being dehydrated.
Most of my life since high school has been exercise in the POOL outdoors, or walking jogging VERY early in the AM, and the rest in an air conditioned gym.
I used to be able to sit in a sauna for about 10 minutes or so and never did sweat, now I just do not go into a sauna, to many issues. Also I NEVER Travel in the Summer, TOO TOO hot, for years I would not visit the desert from May to October, even though I have a son and his family in AZ. I also Travel with a White Gauze cover-up even in the spring fall weather as the sun shining on me heats me up excessivly and then i am uncomfortable and don't get out to enjoy my trip, like to AZ or to Las Vegas. Who wants to have decline invitations all the time??? Like picnics and the like. I went to the High School Reunion, and then Picnic on Sunday this last September 2012, and had to leave by 1pm as It was getting to hot, even in the shade.....
Apparently there is no CURE! I have researched Cooling Vests and plan to wear one so I can enjoy more life. I am planning on using the Stacool Vest as they even sell it to the Navy. I know it is expensive, but If I can go out and travel or walk at the beach etc and do other outdoor activities, other than between 7am and 9am and after 6pm, I think the quality of life is worth the cost.
There are some that work on evaporation Use by soaking them in water and they work for quite a few hours. Since I have had success with ice packs I am choosing that style.
Doctors have not given me much help over the last 10 years, I found out about the Medical condition on my own by researching on the internet. There is a National Foundation in IN, nfed.org, is the link.
they are doing research to help someone if they are diagnosed in infancy, sorry to late for us, but If you have children they may not have to suffer their whole life.
hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is the medical term for ones who do not sweat.
Good luck to all and post again if you have had a chance to try any other methods for staying Cool.View Thread
