Hi there! to every Fat Secret member who wants to better their life. I want a better looking body and keep strength in arms n legs. I'm lifting 5# handbells? while spinning on bike. I lift palm down, palm sideways, and palm up reps of 5, 10, or 15 depending how long my elbows hold out. I also raise arms above head, and let them drop backwards over head to stretch underarms. I don't want to lose my arm or leg functions due to my recent health story. I had occupational therapy for repetitive motion of my arms. Had to break scar tissue in capsule around my elbows, and then strengthen everything. Took 4 months Oct 2014-end Jan2015. Now I'm keeping legs active with 30 min treadmill n 30 min bike twice a week. Few months later my hips had great pains took my breath away. May 2015, I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. It mainly hit my hips n thighs with pain, stiffness, and heightened sensitivity in all body nerves. Depression set in after I tried working a few more months on light duty but getting worse n worse til dropping auto parts and passing out. That ended my working. I gained 35# topping at 200 over the next 5 years. I found all of you with this wonderful app and I have accountable hope. My fibro and lyrica keep me dizzy but vertical and walking.
Ultimately I want a Britney Spears' toned body. I'm almost 52 and figure that's an unrealistic goal. I've had a torn section of meniscus in right knee removed Nov 2012, so I rest day after treadmill n bike. What is there to do to get my toned shape back or close to it? I'm very flexible, know basic yoga, can lift 5# hand weights. We have a bowflex too. Any recommendations would be really appreciated. I'm in constant Awe of anyone with muscle definition. Can I get that without bulking up?
Apologies, my thoughts may be jumbled on here bc of "fibro fog", the brain synapse gets interrupted sometimes.
Can any one of you please give me advice? Thank you!
