Wellness plan

I had cancer when I was 4 and had my tail bone removed. Thank you for your suggestions!

Anything you do to get active and be fit will help! I would suggest swimming or going for walks. You'd be surprised what a 1km walk a day can do for you.

Eat clean it will help. As well as eating in moderation. Even if you don't work out, you'll see the difference in your mood, and even your skin. You are what you eat is the saying.

I agree with the aqua fit and swimming!

View quoted message It's fantastic, as aquatic resistance is good for rehabbing injuries (i swam a lot to rehab my back after a car accident).

also: a medicine ball & resistance band are great too.

I've found that diet has been the biggest help for me. I workout 4-5 times a week, but I find even when I am lazy a few days in a row that I'm still melting a half lb a day.

Never thought of swimming!

Swim/aquafit
yoga/pilates

also: use a backbrace if needed

Definitely check with your doctor before working out, to make sure that you can manage (if you haven't already).

Pilates is always a good choice, since you're laying on the ground and using bands to help you, it takes a lot of the pressure off the back.

Also, looking at yoga that allows you to move more, rather than just stretch, may be an option too (Yoga-lates (combo of yoga and pilates) or Vinyasa).
