Suggest Exercise To Reduce Weight

8 months ago I did something to my back/thigh area that I noticed after an airplane flight..I had an x-ray and have been to physio..also did intra-muscular needles..it just not seem to releive the pain for walking..I can only walk a little and then the pain in the lower back up the left thigh feels like a pinched type nerve..also my right foot seems to swell up when I am in more pain ......I am also overweight and trying to lose weight but can only exercise on a bike for about 10 minutes(according to my phsiotherapist) I do not have any access to a pool which I know would be good..could I do any type of exercise in the tub? I have always been very active even though I am overweight and it is really hard for me not to be able to move a lot...and of course I seem to be gaining even more weight because I cannot exercise as I should be..A bout 10 years ago I herniated the disc on the right side and the physio did traction etc..that really helped..any ideas ..please..for me ..I am just so tired of not being able to walk and stand any length of time.thank-you so much!

Hi,

You can lose weight by breathing exercise and eating right

For weight loss exercise has to be regular. (PRANAYAM/ BREATHING EXERCISE)


Weight loss is not a miracle.. You have to eat balanced and exercise regular for achieving a ideal body weight for life long.

Also dieting is not a solution for weight loss, Instead eat local and all seasonal food items and be regular in physical activity


Please follow the undermentioned points:-

1. drink 3-4 lit water every day
2. Start your day with 1-2 glass warm water - get fresh and take 8-10 soaked almonds and then go for morning exercise
3. Opt for wheat pooriadge/ Milk porriadge/ stuffed roties/ vegetable sandwiches/ Boiled pulses + 1 cup milk
4. Take 5 meals per day - 3 major meals and 2 small meals
5. 2 Servings of fruits every day
6. Eat all local and seasonal fruits and vegetables
7. Take 2-3 Cups of green tea every day - 1 at bed time before sleep
8. Avoid all processed and ready to eat food items.

Regards,

Taru
