Exercise that won't hurt my hip
|
|
| Walking would be good, assuming that the pounding on the ground wouldn't hurt your hip either. If it does you could try walking on grass...much softer and actually a better workout.
What about biking? Does that hurt? |
| Aquafit classes are tons of fun, a great workout and very low impact! |
| I had bursitis after my leg was broken. It was so painful! The doctor said bursitis is usually an overuse injury. It was strange that I had it since I was laid up in bed. They think it was caused by the trauma. He prescribed rest, 2 alleve twice a day and ice for 20 minutes a few times per day. It really helped! |
| What did you decide on , Paula? |
| Holly, I haven't yet made a final decision. I like to do videos at home and I have a few that are very non-stressful. I'm also thinking about buying a bicycle (an outside bicycle). I work at a hospital and we have the opportunity to join the hospital's wellness/fitness center for half price 9it would cost me about $35 a month) so I might do that. In the meantime, I'm doing yoga. I rode Bob the Wonder Pony over the weekend for the first time in 2 weeks and did get a few hip twinges but nothing more materialized.
Hmmmm...lots of options. |

Just caught up to the thread-hope you are feeling better! Yoga is a great option, you could also add a Classical stretch dvd. I use Classical stretch alot and have found it helpful. www.classicalstretch.com Of course, no belly dancing for right now Paula  |
| Hey Zahra,
My gym is having a Zumba class on Memorial Day...I might have to go and check it out! |

Have a great time! Let me know how you like it! |
| Paula have you tried "Curves for Women" It is a great program and you go through your paces in only about 30 minutes. I was in the program for over a year and had great results. When I am over the shingles I am going back.
I hope you are feeling better soon. |

I hope you are feeling better soon. My mom HURT herself at Curves, so it's not always low impact. I guess she was using one of the machines incorrectly and they never corrected her so she damaged her knee... |

Paula I am sorry to hear about your Mom. Curves really worked for me, and since it only took an half hour, it worked into my schedule. |
| Thanks Violet but it wasn't my mom. I think it was Barney's mom's mom (aka Barney's grandma). |

Yep, it was my mom. She would be VERY upset to be called a grandma! Although, as she keeps mentioning to me, she'd LOVE to be a grandma at any time 
And she really liked Curves before then. She liked how it was about a half an hour and that you didn't have to think about what you were going to do next. You just followed the circle of exercises and then you were done. |
