“Apparently there’s a major vein that runs right down the middle of it”
I think that vein goes right through my boy parts as well.
Watch out for..... CRAMPS!
So basically, rocking in a rocking chair, which is kind of amazing, because in 2017 I literally sat in a rocking chair and rocked my newborn grand daughter for at least 10-12 hours a day and I melted. Could have been not eating very much. Either or.
PS - Rocked her for 10-12 hours a day minimum, for 6 months.
Caught up on lots of streaming shows.
that’s real talent
Install a treadle driven generator under every desk and keep those laptops charged!
Even with all of our knowledge we still don't know everything there is to know about the human body.
New things are just being learned about vertigo and tinnitus as well.
All I see is future arthritis and/or carpal tunnel syndrome.
Sounds good and it is easy to do while sitting or standing.
My wife had a hip replaced on 2 March this year. She had PT 2 times a week and did the exercises on her own for about a month before her hip replacement. Then, daily post op.
This seated exercise was one of the pre op and post op PT’s.
We have a waist high dresser in our master bedroom that is 7.5’ long. She did this exercise standing in front of the dresser and walks sideways up and down the front of the dresser with her finger tips on the top of the dresser for balance.
Her surgery was excellent and uneventful. She still does these exercise sets in her chair and in front of our dresser.
2+ months after her surgery, her Ortho doc did a complete checkup and work out observation. He told her to keep doing the exercises and to make an appt., 1 year from that date for a follow up.
She is 81 and weighs the same as she did when we were married 62 years ago.
This I can do! Thank you for posting!
Interesting that you mentioned a treadle. I was thinking that sewing on a treadle sewing machine would be good.
I love this!
Exercise while freeping.
It never ceases to amaze me how some “researcher” comes out with some “new discovery” of commonly known facts/conclusions long-known by competent health professionals. Living off grants is easier than working, I guess.
I’ve been teaching this exercise and it’s benefits for 25 years to my physical therapy patients. Yes, it works.
Should a person alternate legs or do them together?
How often, how long are you supposed to do it?
Whatever way you prefer. Some people like alternating so as to mimic the rhythm of walking, this is better for people who are attempting to improve their coordination also.
Go at a slow steady pace, one that you could continue almost indefinitely. The more the better, if you remember to do it regularly when you are seated, it often becomes an unconscious, healthy habit.
