My unit has a fit if you even want to put your feet down and sit up right. I'm not sure how the exercise concept would go over!
Quote from: MooseMom on February 02, 2007, 12:59:51 PMI just love this whole idea of exercising while on dialysis! After reading the article, it makes sense, doesn't it! Have any of you been given the opportunity to exercise while on the machine? Not here. But I have found if I walk/jog for half and hour right before getting ready to go to dialysis the fluid seems to pull a lot easier and I do not feel washed out so much.

That's an excellent idea! I wonder how many dialysis patients are told this sort of thing?
Amanda, can you give us your exercise routine?

Quote from: Zach on February 02, 2007, 09:09:44 AMAmanda, can you give us your exercise routine?OK well first of all my biggest concern when i started training was for my fistula. My surgeon always told me not to lift anything heavy and not to place to much pressure on my arm, I'm not to sure what everyone Else's doctor thought about that. but anyhow i started off just doing cardio while i was waiting for my fistula to get stronger, and then starting building up my strenth.Routine.Cardio Sessions- 20 mins on treadmill, 15 minutes stepper, 20 minutes bike.I usually go to the gym 5 days a week, my boyfriend says its important not to train to many body parts at a time, so its important to divide it equally within the week.Monday - Cardio, Weights training (back, Lower back)Tuesday - Cardio, Weight training (Chest, Biceps)Thursday - Cardio, Weight Training (Shoulders, Triceps)Saturday - Cardio, weight Training (legs)Sunday - Cardio, (ABS)I usually do 3 Sets And 15 Reps . Now please don't get confused i am no body builder lol i do weights fairly light dependsing on the exercise, and this routine is only on a good day, i also have my very bad day were i will not do as much.Hope it helps.

Cardio Sessions- 20 mins on treadmill, 15 minutes stepper, 20 minutes bike.
I'm sorry there's always "noise" that seems to follow such important exercise information.
Do you do each Cardiod exercise every day (55 minutes total) or one type per day (15 or 20 minute)?

That is if you measure such stuff.Just want to compare to what I do to see if maybe I should be doing more.Since you also exercise Zach maybe you could give an idea of what you try to do in such terms also if you measure it in that way.

Quote from: Zach on February 05, 2007, 07:47:43 PMI'm sorry there's always "noise" that seems to follow such important exercise information. Zach, may i ask what "noise" are you referring to?
I ride a 20 year-old Tunturi (Ergometer) Stationary Bike 45 minutes x 3 days a week, on my dialysis days, before treatment. I don't count the "distance" but rather the time since most studies I've read refer to time as critical. I first started with 10 minutes and added more time each week till I got to 45 minutes.
WOw Amanda, you make me wanna achieve that kind of exercise routine! That's amazing, and I applaude you. Right now, since i'm still in the process of healing, I only do 10 minutes on the treadmill at 0 incline, and 1mph as my speed... LOL, i'm sure an 80yr old could do that but I need to take it slowly until I am fully healed. Once healed though... I hope to increase incline every 2-3 weeks, and speed each week or 2... And time each week. I hope to achieve your levels within the next 6 months, your my hero!!
ha ha its OK i feel tired thinking about it also but i try to push myself!! today i am not feeling very motivated because my HB has dropped, i might take it easy this week. It makes me feel depressed when i don't go.
