Hydro Massage

[Mmindy]

Good afternoon everyone, 

Since Suzie and I are now on Medicare, United Healthcare allowed us to upgrade our current membership at Planet Fitness. We moved up from Basic to Black Card. This opened up the massage tables and tanning booths. Today I used a Hydro Massage Table, and Wow that was worth the price of admission.

This afternoon’s workout was a good one. I’ve been able to keep my weight fairly consistent by working hard in the shop, and watching my food intake. I really do like to work out in the gym too. We have a Planet Fitness less than a mile from our house. We both have memberships, however Suzie isn’t motivated to workout, and thinks if I go by myself, I’m isolating and ignoring family.

 

My Suzie in not a disciplined eater, and never seamed to care about my being Type ll Diabetic, always needing to watch my carbs and sugar. She has always fixed pastas, bake breads, and cookies. Then get aggravated when I wouldn’t eat any of it. When I would remind her that while I love what she has cooked, I just can’t eat that much of it, and I would have a very small plate or bowl. Then she would look at me and say, Is that all you’re going to eat!? Some times I just eat a few meatballs and some sauce, but completely pass on the breads. 
 

Well, guess who was diagnosed as Type ll Diabetic? Ms Suzie. That’s right her new doctor said she needs to get a firm hold on her diet and exercise. We started ordering three meals a week from Home Chef, to meet low carb and sugars. She has also asked to go to the gym every other day. Oh and we are not having pancakes and waffles for breakfast as often either. 
 

I hope she can adjust to this new lifestyle. 
Here’s my workout focus today.

Some info from google)

Charcot- Power shower got this name from its inventor Jean Charcot, and was originally intended for the treatment of neurological diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, as well as improve the overall vitality, hardening and strengthening the immune system. Later it was noticed that it geives other positive results too: people who are overweight could reduce weight, the skin quality was effectively improved and actually treated from cellulite. Thus it promoted further expansion of the scope of shower procedure.

Thanks to the Charcot shower the blood circulation improves, as well improves the function of internal organs of the body, and generally the overall tone goes up. Power shower is used to strength the body and to boost immunity.

Indications of Charcot shower are for:

• Treatment and prevention of neurasthenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, neurosis, irritability, depression, and chronic fatigue syndrome
• Toning the whole body, it has a beneficial effect on the human psyche
• Prevention of low immunity. (Not in the period of the disease)
• The auxiliary procedure for rehabilitation after injuries of the musculoskeletal system. (The procedure must be appointed by orthopedist)
• Treatment of low back pain, arthritis and arthrosis
• When muscle atrophy due to genetic disease or injury
• As part of an integrated treatment of obesity

Careful with the torso rotations @Mmindy. If you do those wrong, you can really jack up your spine. For working my abdominals, I prefer crunches, oblique crunches and the Roman chair. Pity you're not closer, my workout groups are a lot of fun.

 

Hugs!

Thank you for the additional info @dandy1harper I know my Suzie will love to see it.

 

@Jackie C.I just completed my follow up with OrthoIndy about my back, and the 4 weeks of physical therapy has paid off. Yoga, has become a big part of my daily routine now, and I don't count it as part of my workout. In the process of treating my back injury, they pointed out the amount of arthritis I have in my lower back pelvis, and hip region. So daily stretching is a must to keep thing where they are. I would love to find a fun workout group, right now it's just Suzie and I and she doesn't want a workout buddy. She want to get into her headphones and zone out on the weights. I'm just happy she's back in the gym.

 

Namaste,

 

Mindy

Yes, good point. I've been doing Yoga for my back for a long time. I have to but I find it's also good for my posture and balance and for stress.

Good morning Davie,

 

I'm just now getting into it as a result of a back injury late last year.
