I took Tai Chi lessons for a while and it made a huge difference, time to go back and do that again..... before my fibromyalgia causes me to stiffen up like a pretzel... lol

For any one who does not know, there is also an over 60's group. It is not as active as this one though. Gail.

Hi.. I just joined Barnmice and this group and find my overall strength and flexibility has deteriorated over the last few years. I am 45 and just started Ashtanga Yoga using a DVD at home. It has helped me already. I highly recommend Yoga.. if you can do it in a yoga facility that is ideal I think but for me doing a practice at home 4-5 times weekly is a little easier. Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Lise,
Im riding a 9 yr old AQHA gelding. 16h. I started going to the gym this week and Yoga. I did all the necessary physio which was a definite plus. I'm hoping the extra exercise and Yoga will help with my overall fitness..

anne-marie hope you can get back in the saddle soon but as Lise said take it easy to start off with. we dont bounce as well as we do when where younger

What are you riding Anne Marie?
Jackie Cochran Comment by Jackie Cochran on January 20, 2010 at 5:51pm
Wow, Anne-Marie, you really got banged up. Take it easy starting back, it can take a while to get strength back. Being careful and not overdoing it now will contribute to not aching so much as you get older and older.

I have just recovered from a broken collar bone, 3 broken ribs and bruised hip. I wasnt even on my horse! I was bringing him in and he was behind me, spooked and ran right through me (literally). Have been off for 3 months just started riding again at beg of January. I love my horse, but wonder if I should be riding something else....
