Inspiring! From age 25 to 65 my exercise routine was talked about, thought about, and occasionally accomplished. Most of those years I spent car commuting to and from work sitting in traffic 2-3 hours per day. Not healthy, lots of exercise daydreams. Retirement, started exercising little more with dialy 1 mile walks to and from the coffee shop. Age 67, Stage 4 Advanced Prostate Cancer diagnosis. Year 1 of Treatment, 12 months in a hospital bed w/extreme pain. Discovered Exercise Phycology. Obsesivie reading and researching it. Consulted an Exercise Phycologist professor with some cancer treatment knowledge.
Life changing. She designed my "Living With Cancer Wellness Practice." I am now my own best version. I practice every day. Here's it is; Exercise (30 minutes at a time, 3 times daily) Nutrition (Veggies/Fruits 3 times daily), Mindfulness (Read, meditate, journal every day), and Socialize 3 times daily.
Exercise: Micro cardio 22-30 minute walks (intermittent low incline hills. 30 Minutes of Low impact pool time (easy on joints and bone pain), 30+ minutes of slow movement resistance training. e-Trike rides, chair yoga, buddy walk (walk talk w/buddy at least once per week.
Hey, Mayo Connect Buddies, I Love this topic. Be well, live well.
Thank you for such a inspirational post.
My problem, is overcoming the myopathy from Orgovyx, and Xtandi.
Outside of chair yoga, and standing Pilates it has been extremely difficult to maintain a regimen of physical activity; the myopathy always returns like an incurable virus. Has anyone had this problem?
Thank you,
Philnob
