Thanks City we are both doing well with consistancy!!! It is thanks to you starting this thread. So many days I could use the excuse too tired after work otherwise. (Thanks for your input on my complaining.)

I'm trying to help roommate with independence. Today I told her to use the computers at the library you have to have a library card and a password. Step one.

I'm really feeling the exercises that work my glutes on the outside of my hips. I always think these big muscles are probably the ones getting the most day to day use, but I'm surprised at how weak they've gotten. The last time I had some PT, the therapist flagged this as a concern, but it didn't really register: I stood at my desk a good part of the day, I walked a lot, etc. But now, I go sailing along until I have to do something that targets this area and it doesn't take much for me to get to "failure." No wonder I've been having so much trouble getting off the sofa. It's not just that my knees are messed up--nothing else is doing it's job to make up for that either.

Good to know your weak spots. I am in a similar position, at work I have to kneel down on the ground for minutes then stand upright to get money in and out of the safe box. My boss used to have to pull me up. I know a soccer coach/physiologist who does a very low squat position bends forward with her hands on the ground. It is a stretch for lower back, hip flexors and that spot where your hips meet the back of the thighs. I'll be talking to her and she'll be in that position to stay loose. I've been doing that along with squats and it's made things a lot easier.

I'm tempted to try this but I am at the library am shy about the attention that position might bring me! Do you bend at the knees or are your feet straight out? Is it like downward-facing dog? |

Your welcome, hope it helps. I had a friend with back problems so bad that her dad built her a standing desk. She got her college degree doing all her studying standing. She said she remade her back doing yoga. |
