I think the biggest obstacle for you concerning this is watching what you eat.  It is shown that people who work at desks and at computers all day tend to snack a lot, often on high carb foods.  Snack on things like veggies and watch what you eat, as well as take a vigorous lunch time walk and I think you will keep your body in fine shape.

If you're paying for a gym you should go, just go for a half hour, do some cardio, or get a class schedule and go for a class.  You're already paying for it so get going!  You'll feel better once you get back in there, go girl!

cardio is good, but if you dont add weight training and such, you basically go from being a large pear to a small one (not to imply anything - just a visual). you have to shape the muscles too.  squats are great, add straight leg dead lifts (where you essentially reach down without bending your legs and pick up the bar) mule kicks (just slowly kick out back ward, raise your heal to the ceiling) quad extensions (where you sit in a chair with the bar across your shins and slowly kick forward) and try jumping rope.  don't neglect the rest of your body, even though you have a target.  the fat will come off faster if your whole body is involved. try whole body exersizes, like the clean and snatch (sounds bad. its an Olympic movement) and twisting lunges.  very your cardio up - do running, then bicycling, then kickboxing - just to keep it interesting. also, do wind sprints.  the burn MONSTER calories. (go to a track or football field.  pick a distance and time a sprint{after warming up}  for example, i do forty yard sprints, ten yard walk, forty sprint, ten walk, turn around.  by sprint 5, im killing myself to get the same time i got on sprint 1. so i do six, then rest for five minutes, then again, 4 times.  holy cow, it kills me. do that once, and only once, a week.) i will send a link to crossfit - great work outs, a forum to post progress and get help and encouragement (its all free) its a great deal.  works fast.  GOOD LUCK!!  and PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY!!

Wow! Congrats! I hope I will be in such a good shape, too, when I'm 82!!\nIt could indeed be that if you're on top, it's too strenuous for you and the blood indeed needs to flow into your muscles to support your body weight.\nMaybe you can try other positions as well and see whether it helps...\nKeep up the good work, man!!!

It sounds as though you are still active.  Some considerations to make regarding your acitivity include lessening your impact with your physical fitness...changing to biking and swimming  as opposed to running or jogging...eating a well-balanced diet that included plenty of water and avoids caffiene and alcholol (dehydrates your body).  When you find that even with these modifications that your acitivty is still limited, then it is a good time to consider joint replacement.  \n\nJoint replacements continue to improve in technology and technique and I imagine they will only continue to improve.  Some surgeons now perform the minimally invasive technique which only requires about a 4 to 6 inch scar and usually only requires an overnight hospital stay.  Pain and recovery time is lessened with this technique, but not all candidates qualify for this approach.  \n\nIf you are at the point where you cannot carry on your normal acitivities and are having a cosultation for a hip replacement, don't let anyone tell you that you are "too young"...yes, you will probably need a revision(s) in the future...but better to do it when you are younger rather than put it off another 20 years until you are so disabled that you've lost all your strength, cannot exercise, have developed a heart condition, have become obese due to lack of exercise, etc.  \n\nThere are people your age who undergo hip replacement, but it is rare.  When it limits your acitivities even with the modifications listed above, that's the time to consider it...otherwise, let the technology continue to progress!

Since I don't know your exact schedule this makes it hard, but what you can do is to incorporate short workouts throughout your day.  Things like park farther away from the hospital and walk from your car, don't take the shuttle (assuming your hospital has one).  Also, do not take the elevator at work, take the stairs.  Other things like trying not to sit down as often or if you really want a challenge, go and buy those small 2 - 3 lbs weights and strap them to your ankles or your biceps and walk around with those every other day.  Also, when i doubt, just buy a cheap ($5) pedometer and shoot for 10000 steps a day, but don't try to hit it all at once.  Work your way up.  Finally, if you are at a good hospital talk to one of the dietitians on your floor or unit and they will probably give you most of the same advice, but maybe will be able to give you something a little more specific to the hospital or your life.  Good luck.

Hi   Sorry to hear such a young person as you are having these problems with exercise. I am 64 and exercise evry day. Even a walk of a mile or so is better than nothing. You should make an appointment with your primary care physician and explain your problems . A primary care doctor will be able to make a good evaluation of your problems and the steps to get you back on the road to feeling good. Diet and exercise are the longterm solutions with the guidance of healthcare professional help !!! Good luck !!p. s. dont go looking for a quick fix solution....there are none .

I have mild cp too. small world huh. anyway keep doing your strtches. I would suggest not wearing a brace yes it will help but there uncomfortable. I wore braces on both my legs for about 5 years of my life and it sucked. I would suggest doing a runner's stretch both with un-bent and bent knee. I would also suggest doing calf raise with weight and no weight. Sometimes if you go to the doc. they can give you ultrasound or a stimulating device to loosen your muscles to

I know exactly what you mean.  I am an exercise hater!  Walking up the stairs to my classroom every morning is a trip.  Why? Because I am lazy.  My bones are stiff and I just can't work up the energy to get going.  I know I should, but I just don't.  But you know what - I thank you for the wake up call.  In less than a month, I will be 54 and I know I need to get this body worked out. I have no excuse. I am steps away from a full, complete up-to-date exercise and weight room, sauna and steam room with indoor and outdoor pools.  Shame on me.

Bruce just live, exercise is part of normal life. if you don't move enough your body will not work well. even going to the toilet is funtioned by good movement. you must find a good motivation, walking, running, cycling, swimming, I am disabled to certain degree 30%, but I try to move as much as possable, walking in the mountains cycling along side a river. I have to go to hospital next week for a knee replacement in the right side, unyet I spent a week looking after a friends dog, in a high mountain, walking, and enjoying fresh air, since I know what movement I have now, I will have the benifit after my operation. you must not let your muscles fail at an early age, you will be worse as you get older. enjoy life, exercise also gets a control on depresion, which if you are not getting out enough, I would say you are suffering with. you will enlarge most muscles and blood supply, which I am sure you know you need to enlarge****

Honestly, this really sounds like something you want to discuss with a trained professional, like your physician or personal trainer at a local gym. In my personal opinion (not that it really matters), you sound just a little thin, and that may be why your run time is a little slow, because if your body isn't in top-notch shape weight-wise and nutritionally speaking, you can't expect to get the most out of exercising because you body isn't really able to perform in that way. I think if you weighed a little more and ate properly and worked out with the guidance of a personal trainer and nutritionist/dietitian, you'd be doing great and be feeling terrific by Labor Day! Also, remember that getting enough sleep is crucial for your body to keep in tip-top shape, I'd say at least 7 hours a night.

Go running. Build up to do 30 minutes of jogging, at least 3 times a week. 30 minutes at a time is not much, it can easily fit into your schedule, and will leave you with more energy and concentration for your studies.\n\nYou can tone up the muscles in your stomach and butt with sit ups and squats - start with blasts of 10 sit ups, rest for 30 seconds, 10 more, 30 seconds, then last ten. As these get easier, increase the numbers of repetitions, and decrease the rest time. do pretty much the same for squats.\n\nhowever, exercising those points will not cause you to loose flab from them - only cardiovasculour exercise will do that, and running is about the best one there is.\n\nand the old adage that college life does not allow for a normal schedule - i did a degree, and have worked as a hall manager/warden/don living on campus for the last few years, and beleive me it does allow for a normal schedule with a bit of planning. if you get up at 7 every morning, have a decent breakfast (porridge or oatbran is great), and get ready for the day, you'll find the schedule easily sliding into place - even if you don't have any classes in the morning, you can spend this time studying or exercising, and leave your evenings free for socialising.

Congratulations on getting started with an exercise program!  15 minutes a day was a good start, but I suggest you work up to 30 minutes every other day and walk at a pace that challenges you (increased breathing and elevated heart rate).  As your fitness level increases, try walking every day, increase your walking time to 45 minutes, add in hilly terrain, etc.  \n\nMake sure you have a good comfortable pair of walking shoes.\n\nGood luck!

Well from your measurements you seem to have a nice build.  Maybe you should try Pilates, the moves involve a lot of stretching which gives your muscles a slendor look and add low impact cardio to shed a few inches.  Our builds are quite similar (28y/o african american 5'6 34  26  36) and I find that my legs will bulk up if I place to much weight on them when exercising; however I have to do lunges and squats to get the tone you are getting from the hills you walk daily.  \nTry pilates and a little cardio, you should see your thighs slim down. Also if you workout don't focus so much on leg strengthening exercises as you are already doing that each day on your walks.

Sure, treadmill will help. But if you just fat below the waist, I think it's from your body type (pear shaped,big below waistline), it's genetic and you can't change that. Measure the width between your hip bones, is it much wider than your shoulder? All you can do exercise more to keep that parts toned and tight, or reduce your overall weight and size. But the proportion won't change a lot, but the difference will be less noticeable if you're skinny.
