    Have a look at the other exercise post by the other Peter.

    Maybe Peter means exercise in another language.

    If you have lost Hope, read the science and get moving.

    Something is better than nothing.

    A walk in the sun will raise your spirits, oxygenate your blood and give you the best survival odds.

    Hugs,
    Pete

    Ps a very big Thankyou to all the contributions to the walking post.
    I have shared my passion for exercise, I used to get lots of support from others replies here now my personal weight trainer is my motivator
    Now that exercise and diet are almost mainstream, I feel the need to pass on my exercise awareness is not as mportant

    thanks vital14
    welcome to the board, feel free to introduce yourself.

    I had the same advice about aerobic slowing muscle building, its good to have a coach, its something I really appreciated.

    The benefit of exercise for survivorship has helped me, the other day I was well enough
    and I did 50 25 meter laps, it felt fantastic.

    hugs,
    Pete

    ps this thread has been a little quiet lately, anyone else exercising.

    today jog with dogs on beach and yoga tonight was great
    i have been exercising most days, and some days i do a double up.
    tomorrow i hope to day yoga and body building.

    i have not been posting as much as i spend most of my time exercising, juicing, doing supplements or meditating and in my spare time i have some fun. so the exercise post has been having a bit of a rest. also for the last few months i have been away camping and on vegan retreats so i have been off the air with regard exercise.

    i have a new secret weapon to improve my exercise, its visualisation. so i look at a big hill and i say i can run up that sucker. sooner or later i get to the top. i am doing the same very tricky yoga positions. visualising doing back aches, and head stands. the visualisation is easy as most of the girls in my yoga class are lovelly they are upside down. only yoga junkies will appreciate this. i highly recommend yoga, the bare foot thing has really helped with my neuropathy. my feet are almost normal, almost! i have lost so much flexibility, in many of the positions it looks like i am not even trying. it would make a really funny video, to see whateveryone else does and then what i can get to. also my bulging hernia almost makes me look pregnant and the wind well thats another challenge. when they redid my plumbing they stuffed up the gas values.

    after yoga i do about a 30 minute steam bath and have about 4 cold showers to break this up. trying the hot and cold therapy to stimulate the immune system. time permitting.

    tomorrow at 6 am i will sneak in another yoga and at 10am i meet guy, a legend. he was the state champion body builder a few years ago, he is a vegan and is very kindly training me for free, so far. he is a saint. he heard my oncs comment about loosing weight on the vegan diet.

    well i think it was like a red flag to a bull. gaining muscle over the next 3 months is a key personal goal. i will prove i can be healthy on this vegan diet and gain muscle and most importantly strength. not just in body, but in purpose, in mind. When my muscles are completely exhuasted and guy says 4 more big fella. I ask myself a simple question in my head "do i want to live ?" he has not questioned my commitment. i don't intend to give him the chance either.

    the key strategy for muscle builidng is i eat protein before the workout and straight after and i have an afternoon nap and a good sleep every night. i image the muscle crushing any little tumours trying to pop out here of there.

    so yoga improves your flexibility, its helped mine alot. it also i think helps your mind to be more flexible. i am so flexible i can twist enough to inject myself in the butt, so i can leave my daughter alseep now days and do it myself. i am still shooting up on steroids, only joking. only artemissinin. i figured i would get an extra shot in tonight as i am doing my markers tomorrow morning and i have been slack at doing this of late.

    given its really late now, i want be getting up at 6am to do yoga. i have spent more time here on csn 128 then in the last month, but i wanted to get some ideas shared and keep the exercise post rolling along.

    anyone else exercising

    ps rely on your own advice, i am just sharing what i am doing.

    pps every breathe is an exercise, you have all been doing with cancer for many breathes now. try a few deep breathes if you can. some alternative radicals have dared to suggest oxygen may have a role in keeping us alive and killing our cancers. use google if interested in this. in my books i have decided to just keep breathing despite the fact my onc has not sanctioned this therapy. JOKE.

    ppps pepe are you out there mate ? sorry i have been a bit slack posting with this

    Exercise!
    I walked/ran a 5K this morning. My second!

    *Hugs*
