Do you suffer from nerve pain?
Well, it’s time to knock it out. Give your chronic nerve pain the one two punch with these simple-to-do exercises done at home, at work and with friends.
Why live with stabbing, tingling or numbing pain any longer? Nerve pain is caused by a lack of blood flowing to the heart creating discomfort and pain throughout the body. If you had the chance to relieve this pain and all it took was 30 minutes, would you do it?
Start living a more active life with these four fun-filled (yes, fun) exercises appropriate for all ages and levels. You don’t even have to sweat to see results. I promise!
Aim to walk 30 minutes a day five days a week with a 20-minute stretch prior. If walking is difficult at this time, start off small by walking to the mail box or around the house. Feel free to grab a friend and make it a social event. A walk is just the beginning.
If kickboxing is not your style, take it easy with a nice afternoon of swimming or cycling. Both offer low-impact for muscles, bones and joints. And the best thing is, swimming and cycling improve blood circulation.
We’re not all body builders and that’s okay. Whether you’re lifting five pound weights, doing sit-ups or pushups, adding resistance training to your daily routine can increase flexibility and of course, blood flow.
Take a few minutes each day to stretch your arms, neck, legs and feet. It doesn’t have to be long or rigorous. You can move your neck side to side and up and down or move your legs in a bicycle motion while sitting or lying down.
Make it your personal goal to try at least one of these activities. Movement of any kind is better than none. Remember your body needs to heal and when you stay active, blood continues to circulate and healing begins.
Take some inspiration from the tortoise and the hare, it’s not how fast you go, but the determination to stay the course that you will reach the finish line.
Before starting a new fitness routine, always consult your physician.
