In reply to How many of you posting are currently exercising?, posted by jamielynn on December 6, 2002, at 13:06:37
Jamielynn, I can't run. Each thump of my foot coming down sends shock waves through my head & will bring on headaches. But I love walking & can walk almost as fast as some people jog.
I don't always walk - it depends on what each day is like. But every day that I'm not feeling too much pain, I fill with activity - dancing, working or moving quickly, running up & down staris in my place when I'm cleaning. I'm ADHD & I'm grateful for it. It's often said that the hyperactivity seems to fade with age & is less in women than men, but maybe that's cause some become lazy. I credit it with helping me stay active - I can't sit still for long. But it's benefitted me as my health & physical fitness is very good for my age.
But activity has never been enough to stave off depression for me. Like others, I consider a combination of meds & life style to be what I need to feel good - or even normal. I'm glad to see so many have responded positively to your question on exercise.
