I think I will tell you a little bit about my body so you can see that it is not a super body for training,- but it works :-)

When I was 4 years old my mum thought it was something odd with my back and at the same time I was complaining about headaches almost every day ( I still do at age 61). A couple of doctors later I was sent to a hospital in Oslo (I live in Norway :-) ) who treated scoliosis. Scoliosis is a condition where the spine looks like a C or S. My spine looks like a S, and when I started treatment my curves where 40+ degrees. First I had a plasterbrace (over my left shoulder, round my upperbody and down to my right knee), it was difficult to sit and do lots of things but I learned how to use my mums bicycle when I had this brace ;-) After some months I got a Blounts brace.

After a while I got a Milwaukee brace with even more things (ring around left shoulder, a plate over right breast, and a small pelot on left hip).
After 8 years with these braces 24/7 my curves where bigger, now they where 60+ degrees. I have no idea why I did not have surgery, but I have had (and have) a great life and luckely just small pain :-)
After many years I got asthma because one of my lounges have to little space. Now I also have heartflicker, and I am a surviver of malingt melanoma.

So this is what I have to deal with when I am training,- which means  
                                WHEN I CAN, SO CAN YOU <3

******************************************************************************

Today I started at the physioterapist where I got a massage :-) My neck muscles where sore so it was not the best,but afterwards it is ok.
We also took a Body analysis (we should have done it before I started in May but we forgot).
Nothing very surprising,- too much internal fat :-( So I need to go back to the lowcarb food if I want to see changes..... I WILL!

Then it was the normal training:

Treadmill: intervall 45 sec walking-15 sec break, 11% increase, 5 km speed  15 min X 2
Seated leg press: 10 x 3 - 55 kg
Back extension: 10 x 3 - 40 kg
Pulldown: 10 x 3 - 27,5 kg
Torso rotation: 10 x 3 - 25 kg (felt too easy but was better for my lower back)
Rowing: 10 x 3 - level 8

Body feels ok after training today, even if I am exhausted when I do the excercises :-)

One more time to excercise this week, 3 times a week feels ok. Next week I will get some new program :-)

I you would like to comment I would love to hear what kind of excersise you do and your experiences :-)
