I hate to exercise - I am even having trouble getting into a yoga habit and I like yoga! Let me start at the beginning. For years I hovered around the 140# area until...I quit smoking with the support of my sister who also quit, on January 2, 2013. Guess what? I developed an unwavering cough. It was constant and it changed to a different type every 2 months, for 4 years so far. I never felt sick I just coughed all the time. My sister on the other hand coughed before she even lit a cigarette and you would have thought she was hacking up a lung yet the day she quit with me - her coughs ended immediately. Also, I discovered FOOD - a lot of FOOD. If I was awake, I was eating and next thing you know after 3 years of this Not Smoking - Easting Disorder - I knew what carrying 2 thirty-five pound sacks of flour permanently attached to my body, felt like. I HATE IT! I HATE that I jiggle! I HATE that I sweat in spots where my skin never touched before! I HATE that my feet don't fit into my fancy heels anymore! I HATE that my knees are overly stressed and I can't walk as far as I used to! I HATE that I can't walk and talk without heavy breathing! I HATE that I am always tired! I HATE that I can't stand to see myself naked and don't want anyone else to!
Wow! That's a lot of hate - you would think enough to motivate me to do something about it! I try but I know I don't give 100% or even 60% for that matter. I diet for awhile. I even had a weight loss contest last January 2016 and I lost about 18# in 2 months. I gained all but 7 back and have stayed their for a year - Still 211# is wayyyyy to much for me - and my thighs touch when I walk so I have to wear shorts when I wear a dress or skirt! There - now you know what is going on in my head and my body. So, if you are reading this you may be in the front row for my transformation. I feel really good about this. I read a book that I believe will change my life.
The action of rebounding is said to have drastic effect on all areas of the body, all organs, body strength, weight loss and even vision improvement. I read it in a day and a half and every page made me want to read the next. I will see if the process is fun, simple, and effective as they claim. Before you run to Dunham's or Dicks Sporting Goods to pick up your cheap $30 mini trampoline know that it has springs. This is NOT ideal for full body strengthening. The one I ordered has individual bungee straps all around the high quality Permatron jumping surface that is virtually silent and completely stable. Sure it is a bit more expensive but what is your body's health worth to you?
Fist some starting points and issues - as of Saturday April 1, 2017
- I have a resting heartrate of 80 bpm
- I currently weigh 211# (I know - I don't look it at all)
- I have shortness of breath while walking, doing light labor, holding a conversation, etc.
- I get tired real easy sitting at my desk
- I have pain in my right knee - feels twisted
- I have pain in my right elbow - intermittent from an old strain
- I have pain in my ankles intermittently
- I still cough - but not as frequent due to supplements from my chiropractor
-I have a compromised sense of smell and taste
- I have had bad vision since I was 10
- I have suffered intermittent lower back pain for most of my life
- I never could run
- I have had hot flashes for the past 10 years
- I have random itch patches in various areas with no visible irritations
- I am ALWAYS Hungry!
So starting our with 2-4 minutes of jumping 5 - 7 times per day - already feeling better after 3 days - Let's see what happens...
