Medziotojas Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 ^^I think you just did I find 10 minutes on the children's trampoline each day (which thankfully can take up to 100kg) a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I ride a bike to work and back, what ever the weather. I have also stopped smoking, will be 3 years this summer. Trying to eat healthier is the next bigun, though we do better than some.We have to grow more of our own food, cannot keep maintaining the shopkeepers profits or continue to ingest the chemicals.

crofter-amy Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Well done on the stopping smoking SP. I gave up for 8 years, till I met my smoking husband. Gave up again a few months ago and I hope for the last time! Good food and exercise are very important but so is lowering your expectations. Too many people get caught up in the advertisers mill and spend their whole lives chasing the unatainable....Happiness through consumption. Also I would say good company is very important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Thanx for that, tho I hope I don't meet a smokin husband, (unless I get caught ) Givin up smoking was one of my biggest steps, 27 years it took me to take it. Havin a good family helps as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voicebox Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Great idea to open this thread. I advocate the raising of the head end of the bed by 4 inches for 2 months increasing to 6 inches thereafter... Some people go to 8 inches in the end. Many people have had chronic illnesses reverse using this simple technique, arthritis being one of them, lowering blood pressure, relief of night time urination etc... I mentioned it to a person who tried it and he no longer has to get up several times in the night to pee, he feels much better for it all round. I have been sleeping this way for two years, I sleep like log, but not just getting a goodnight sleep, I feel very refreshed. Link here to more info http://justmusing.org.uk/?page_id=146 The great thing about it: not consuming medication, it's cheap to install/build.

With that kind of slope on the bed, you'd need to lie still all night, or you'd wake up on the floor at the foot of it in the morning. Gravity has that effect.

voicebox Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 O ghostrider, you don't have to lie still all night, amazingly it's just fine, Babylon 5 viewers, don't be put off by the minbari beds It's incredibly comfortable. Stopped me snoring so badly. Ever tried sleeping on a hill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueflower Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I would like to get fitter by dancing. Can anyone recommend a good class/group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khitajrah Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 You could try ballroom dancing in Islesburgh on Wednesday evenings or in the Scalloway Boating Club on Monday evenings. What kind of dance were you thinking? There is also an adult ballet stretch and tone class in Islesburgh on Wednesday evening and I do believe there is someone teaching Zumba classes somewhere in Shetland.

I advocate the raising of the head end of the bed by 4 inches for 2 months increasing to 6 inches thereafter... Some people go to 8 inches in the end. I'm definitely gonna give this a go. I injured my ribs earlier in the year and for few weeks could only get comfortable to sleep sitting up, yet I was sure I felt more refreshed despite being (obviously) sore. Great thread. Any little tip that improves wellbeing is a gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shetlandpeat Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Earth wind and fire. You don't need to pay anyone to dance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueflower Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks for the ideas. Zumba looks fun - had a look on u-tube, as I'd never heard of it. Think I'll follow that up. And if I can't keep up the pace - it'll be me on my own round the kitchen with earth, wind and fire on full volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
