No upper limit was set on the amount of weight a woman could lift. In addition to the upper body exercises, the women in the study also did a cardiovascular warm up, stretching, and abdominal, back and lower body exercises.
(prHWY.com) July 30, 2012 - Scottsdale, AZ -- 30th July, 2012, Arizona, USA :In the study, the women worked out twice a week for one year. Fitness professionals established the proper starting weight for each participant based on her current level of strength and added more weight gradually every two weeks, provided there was no change in her symptoms. All of the women wore a compression sleeve around the limb at risk and were monitored periodically by a lymphedema specialist. The upper-body exercises included the seated row, chest press, lateral or front raises, biceps curls and triceps push-downs. Each exercise was performed for three sets of ten repetitions. No upper limit was set on the amount of weight a woman could lift. In addition to the upper body exercises, the women in the study also did a cardiovascular warm up, stretching, and abdominal, back and lower body exercises. Stretches should focus on the chest and shoulders, since tightness in the pectoral area and decreased shoulder mobility can both interfere with normal lymph drainage. It is important to restore full range of motion in these areas before starting to strengthen them. Women wellness maximum depends upon the type of food taken by them and the fitness training taken by the trainers.
Traditionally, women have been advised against lifting weights and performing repetitive arm movements in order to prevent lymphedema, a possible side effect of breast cancer treatments. However, a recent study from the New England Journal of Medicine shows that strength training exercises can actually reduce the risk of developing this unwelcome complication, improve symptoms if they develop, and prepare women to return to their normal day-to-day activities. The weight lifters had fewer problems because they had better muscle tone and endurance.Of course, this information should not take the place of guidance from your own physician or other medical professional. Always consult with your doctor before beginning an exercise program or becoming much more physically active.
It is possible to get the wellness ideas from the health magazines available in the market. Chronic headaches are an excellent example of this. The medical approach is to determine how much of a 'pain relieving' drug the patient's body can withstand by taking the patient's weight and blood pressure. The drug may relieve the pain of the headache while it is in the system, but once the body has fully metabolized and eliminated it, the headache usually returns. In some cases, the drug causes side effects such as dry mouth and stomach aches proving that it is not truly healthy. The wellness care approach, on the other hand, is to find the cause of the headache through questions about diet, stress, physical activity and the circumstances that led up to the beginning of the pain. This is combined with tests of the nervous, skeletal, muscle and organ systems. It may be found, for example, that there was a pinched nerve in the patient's neck and that the patient was not drinking enough water on a regular basis. Once chiropractic adjustments to the neck are made and the patient begins to properly hydrate, the headaches often go away without having to take any 'headache medicines'.
