00:00:06.10\00:00:07.70
Be sure to
consult your physician
00:00:09.01\00:00:10.44
before beginning

00:00:10.45\00:00:13.53
If you or anybody you know
has experience fibromyalgia.
00:00:15.53\00:00:18.73
You want to stay
tune for Body and Spirit.
00:00:18.74\00:00:20.46
That's our topic for today.
00:00:20.47\00:00:22.01
Hello, I'm Dick
Nunez, Wellness Director
00:00:51.34\00:00:52.95
of the Black Hills
Health and Education Center.
00:00:52.96\00:00:54.96
Welcome to Body and Spirit.
00:00:54.97\00:00:57.37
One of words we
hear a lot of today
00:00:57.38\00:00:59.02
in the medical
community is fibromyalagia.
00:00:59.03\00:01:01.32
Those who suffered
is no laughing matter,
00:01:01.33\00:01:03.67
its a very painful deal
00:01:03.68\00:01:05.25
and often times
people feel really hopeless
00:01:05.26\00:01:07.19
and don't know what to do.
00:01:07.20\00:01:08.99
The Bible tells us that all
things work together for good
00:01:09.00\00:01:11.39
for those who love the Lord.
00:01:11.40\00:01:12.88
It may not mean that everything
00:01:12.89\00:01:13.86
is going to be good,
00:01:13.87\00:01:15.05
but it means that all things
are worked together for good.
00:01:15.06\00:01:17.12
So even though
we might experience
00:01:17.13\00:01:18.50
the pain of fibromyalagia.
00:01:18.51\00:01:20.04
There is hope for us,
00:01:20.05\00:01:21.08
lot of things we can do to
make our lives more bearable.
00:01:21.09\00:01:23.98
So we're gonna
focus on that today
00:01:23.99\00:01:25.60
with our exercise program.
00:01:25.61\00:01:27.01
Showing you things you can do
00:01:27.02\00:01:28.86
even though you might
suffer from this disorder.
00:01:28.87\00:01:31.13
So let's get started.
00:01:31.14\00:01:32.39
Today helping me out
will be Tammy and Patrisha.
00:01:32.40\00:01:35.86
And we brought
our chairs out today
00:01:40.18\00:01:41.76
because when people have a
condition like fibromyalgia.
00:01:41.77\00:01:44.42
Go and have a seat ladies.
00:01:44.43\00:01:46.35
It's difficult
for them to move a lot
00:01:46.36\00:01:48.92
'cause it's just a
nondescript irritation
00:01:48.93\00:01:50.83
throughout the body.
00:01:50.84\00:01:51.89
You can't actually move
in become very frustrating.
00:01:51.90\00:01:54.15
So people who have fibromyalgia
00:01:54.16\00:01:56.11
have to be very careful
not to over extend themselves
00:01:56.12\00:01:59.34
or they can make
themselves worse.
00:01:59.35\00:02:00.92
So we're gonna
start very easily today.
00:02:00.93\00:02:02.88
We're gonna start by just widely
00:02:02.89\00:02:04.72
squeezing our hands together.
00:02:04.73\00:02:06.33
Okay, let's put in
a prayerful position
00:02:06.34\00:02:08.48
and those who have fibromyalgia
00:02:08.49\00:02:09.69
feel like they
need to do a lot of that
00:02:09.70\00:02:10.87
because of the pain they had.
00:02:10.88\00:02:12.27
Okay and let's just
squeeze to a comfort position.
00:02:12.28\00:02:14.93
Okay, rotate out, let's
get some range of motion
00:02:14.94\00:02:17.20
just coming out
and bringing back.
00:02:17.21\00:02:21.00
Let's just go back and forth.
00:02:21.01\00:02:22.64
That's very important for
those who have fibromyalgia
00:02:22.65\00:02:25.52
to keep in mind that you
don't want to press too hard.
00:02:25.53\00:02:27.75
For those at home
they still want to follow
00:02:27.76\00:02:29.42
on with the workout and
don't have fibromyalgia,
00:02:29.43\00:02:31.96
then by all means go ahead
00:02:31.97\00:02:33.31
and press hard and get
the most out of the workout,
00:02:33.32\00:02:35.75
because even
though we maybe doing
00:02:35.76\00:02:37.53
the modified program
up here on the stage,
00:02:37.54\00:02:40.52
bottom-line is this exercise
00:02:40.53\00:02:42.09
could still be
good for everybody.
00:02:42.10\00:02:43.86
So reach way out.
00:02:43.87\00:02:46.17
Still important to
get the range of motion.
00:02:46.18\00:02:48.87
Exercise is such a key
component for fibromyalgia
00:02:50.09\00:02:53.25
which falls into
classification disorders
00:02:53.26\00:02:55.50
and notice autoimmune
with the body basically
00:02:55.51\00:02:57.65
is it attacking itself
for some reason or other.
00:02:57.66\00:03:01.15
So we want to try and
strengthen the immune system.
00:03:01.16\00:03:03.27
And exercise is a
great way of doing
00:03:03.28\00:03:05.06
that because even
though it may not be
00:03:05.07\00:03:06.75
the most
comfortable thing we ever do.
00:03:06.76\00:03:08.44
After we're done with it,
we usually feel better, right?
00:03:08.45\00:03:11.49
All right, okay.
00:03:11.50\00:03:12.90
Now let's turn
our hands like this
00:03:12.91\00:03:14.77
and let's go
cross back and forth.
00:03:14.78\00:03:17.39
Okay, trying to get a good
range of motion there again.
00:03:17.40\00:03:24.31
Okay, once again for
those with fibromyalgia
00:03:24.32\00:03:26.57
they're not gonna
be pushing too hard,
00:03:26.58\00:03:28.55
but for those without
go ahead and push away.
00:03:28.56\00:03:32.42
Also in that
condition of fibromyalgia
00:03:32.43\00:03:34.70
often times
going along with that
00:03:34.71\00:03:36.81
you find chronic
fatigue syndrome.
00:03:36.82\00:03:41.23
And exercise has been found
00:03:41.24\00:03:42.58
be very helpful
for that as well.
00:03:42.59\00:03:44.49
But we want to make
sure we don't over stimulate,
00:03:44.50\00:03:46.83
because if we push too
hard, we can make it worse.
00:03:46.84\00:03:53.28
Okay, good. So
what we're gonna do is
00:03:53.29\00:03:55.29
we're gonna do a
variety of motions today
00:03:55.30\00:03:57.58
just to try and
help us to get the effect
00:03:57.59\00:04:01.27
we need from exercise
without over stimulating.
00:04:01.28\00:04:04.59
So we're gonna do
some shoulder work now,
00:04:04.60\00:04:06.56
so just put your
arms out to the side
00:04:06.57\00:04:08.52
and raise your
arms up and back down.
00:04:08.53\00:04:13.10
Okay, more important
is we don' t hit here.
00:04:13.11\00:04:15.77
Okay good. Once again we just
work on the range of motion.
00:04:15.78\00:04:19.78
For you at home you
want to use dumbbells
00:04:25.84\00:04:29.16
or some type of
weights in your hand,
00:04:29.17\00:04:30.93
you can
increase your resistance.
00:04:30.94\00:04:33.15
For those who have fibromyalgia
00:04:33.16\00:04:34.48
I would certainly
not recommend that
00:04:34.49\00:04:36.85
until you find out how you
do off with the basic exercise.
00:04:36.86\00:04:40.86
When people have fibromyalgia
00:04:40.87\00:04:42.35
as they start getting stronger,
00:04:42.36\00:04:43.79
they find they can
go with more resistance
00:04:43.80\00:04:46.16
without hurting themselves.
00:04:46.17\00:04:47.66
We want to be very careful
00:04:47.67\00:04:48.81
about the negative
aspect of the training,
00:04:48.82\00:04:51.19
so we're not
gonna be bringing towels
00:04:51.20\00:04:52.54
or any other type of
exercise equipment out here.
00:04:52.55\00:04:54.93
We simply gonna be
doing range of motion.
00:04:54.94\00:04:59.66
Okay, now bring your
hands up to this position,
00:04:59.67\00:05:02.45
we're gonna push
up over the head.
00:05:02.46\00:05:04.17
And if you are
finding fibromyalgia
00:05:09.59\00:05:11.33
as you're doing this exercises,
00:05:11.34\00:05:12.89
if you feel like you need
to stop and rest, please do.
00:05:12.90\00:05:17.00
We find that
people with fibromyalgia
00:05:17.01\00:05:19.12
sometimes will have better days
00:05:19.13\00:05:20.38
and others for
no particular reason
00:05:20.39\00:05:22.76
which often times can be
very frustrating for them.
00:05:22.77\00:05:25.56
Let's do just a
couple more here.
00:05:25.57\00:05:27.40
Okay, let's put
our arms out now.
00:05:30.84\00:05:33.85
Now we're just gonna
move in arms back out
00:05:33.86\00:05:36.11
to the side and
back to the front.
00:05:36.12\00:05:39.96
Good. Once again
we're just trying to do
00:05:39.97\00:05:43.50
a variation of movements,
try and create circulation.
00:05:43.51\00:05:50.02
Exercise is greater
producing endorphins
00:05:50.03\00:05:52.11
which give a sight
your thought feeling
00:05:52.12\00:05:54.51
which in turn will help
strengthen our immune system
00:05:54.52\00:05:57.06
that's what we are after.
00:05:57.07\00:05:58.68
Stronger immune system will
mean less pain and irritation.
00:05:58.69\00:06:05.37
Okay, let's do ten more.
00:06:05.38\00:06:09.13
Remember to think about your
postures as you're doing this,
00:06:09.14\00:06:11.80
you will be sitting
up nice and straight,
00:06:11.81\00:06:14.27
chest up, xiphoid process up.
00:06:14.28\00:06:18.16
Make sure you breathe into
the nose out through the mouth.
00:06:18.17\00:06:23.42
Okay, one more time.
00:06:23.43\00:06:26.29
Okay, I want you just to
clasp your hands like this,
00:06:26.30\00:06:29.53
we're gonna come up over
the head and then back down.
00:06:29.54\00:06:34.07
Okay, stretch
back, come back down.
00:06:34.08\00:06:37.24
This is a modified pullover.
00:06:37.25\00:06:41.98
And this will be designed
to help the upper back area,
00:06:41.99\00:06:47.58
as you work this rotation.
00:06:47.59\00:06:51.33
You can also do this
sitting mode than incline
00:06:51.34\00:06:54.36
where you can force
yourself to pull more
00:06:54.37\00:06:57.08
or put some weight in your hands
00:06:57.09\00:06:59.56
and that will help as well.
00:06:59.57\00:07:00.74
Okay, let's do ten more.
00:07:04.03\00:07:05.50
It's three, good. Good
posture each time, four.
00:07:10.95\00:07:18.78
Get the arm straight.
00:07:18.79\00:07:21.76
Six and seven, three more times,
00:07:21.77\00:07:28.40
eight, nine,
one more time, okay.
00:07:28.41\00:07:34.24
Now we're gonna do
our stretch from that area
00:07:34.25\00:07:36.88
where we're gonna
reach up over the head
00:07:36.89\00:07:38.09
and grab the elbow
and pull, not too much.
00:07:38.10\00:07:41.12
Somebody with fibromyalgia
00:07:41.13\00:07:42.31
we don't want to
get too carried away
00:07:42.32\00:07:43.37
in how hard we pull.
00:07:43.38\00:07:45.08
Just want to stretch the
area till it has flexibility.
00:07:45.09\00:07:48.63
We don't want to
create irritation at all.
00:07:48.64\00:07:51.24
You're gonna hold the stretch
for about 10 to 15 seconds.
00:07:51.25\00:07:55.66
You got about five more seconds.
00:07:55.67\00:07:58.42
Are you ticklish? Okay, switch.
00:07:58.43\00:08:05.13
Okay, just try and bring it
back little more there Tammy,
00:08:05.14\00:08:07.07
you might want to take
it from about it here we go,
00:08:07.08\00:08:09.92
this way, good.
00:08:09.93\00:08:11.59
No wonder we can see you still.
00:08:11.60\00:08:13.15
Okay, five more seconds.
00:08:17.40\00:08:19.06
Okay, good. Now
what we're gonna do
00:08:22.49\00:08:25.03
is we're gonna do a
combination of curl exercises.
00:08:25.04\00:08:27.72
I want you to just put
your arms out to the side,
00:08:27.73\00:08:30.42
have the palms turned up
00:08:30.43\00:08:31.56
and you're just
gonna curl your arms up
00:08:31.57\00:08:33.18
and then back down, good.
00:08:33.19\00:08:37.96
Once again we're just looking
to range of motion there.
00:08:37.97\00:08:40.81
We're gonna try
to do 20 of those.
00:08:40.82\00:08:43.52
For those at home
00:08:43.53\00:08:44.94
you can be using a
weight to help assist you.
00:08:44.95\00:08:48.21
Once again this exercise
are still basic exercises
00:08:48.22\00:08:51.32
that we all do, all
very, very, very beneficial.
00:08:51.33\00:08:54.42
However we can modify
them as far as how hard we go
00:08:54.43\00:08:57.59
by how much
resistance we put to them.
00:08:57.60\00:08:59.59
So right now we're
just doing range of motion
00:08:59.60\00:09:01.43
because that's what
people with fibromyalgia need.
00:09:01.44\00:09:04.31
Okay, we got
about five more to do.
00:09:04.32\00:09:06.19
Okay, now we're
gonna modify our curl.
00:09:12.49\00:09:14.47
We're gonna reach out
00:09:14.48\00:09:15.75
and we're just gonna flex
the arms down like you saw.
00:09:15.76\00:09:18.35
Keep the elbows
up, flexing arms down.
00:09:18.36\00:09:21.97
Good, good, you want
to make sure you keep the,
00:09:21.98\00:09:26.16
the hands turned in
as you do that, good.
00:09:26.17\00:09:31.14
Act like you're a bodybuilder.
00:09:31.15\00:09:34.90
There you go. Keep it going.
00:09:34.91\00:09:37.57
Reach all the way out.
00:09:41.09\00:09:43.35
That's a very
important aspect of this,
00:09:43.36\00:09:44.91
you want to make sure we
get good full range of motion.
00:09:44.92\00:09:47.27
Okay, we're gonna do seven more.
00:09:52.64\00:09:55.96
One, two, three, four, five,
00:09:55.97\00:10:07.49
good, two more, six and seven.
00:10:07.50\00:10:12.29
Now what we're gonna do is
we're gonna have our elbows
00:10:12.30\00:10:15.58
out to the side,
want to make sure
00:10:15.59\00:10:17.12
you have enough
room clear the chair.
00:10:17.13\00:10:19.48
I want you to push
down and then come back up,
00:10:19.49\00:10:23.27
and each time you push down
00:10:23.28\00:10:24.36
I want you to think about
flexing your triceps hard,
00:10:24.37\00:10:26.52
so you want to make your arms
00:10:26.53\00:10:27.55
go straight as possible to body.
00:10:27.56\00:10:31.65
Flex your triceps at the
bottom and back up again.
00:10:31.66\00:10:34.66
Once again we're just
encouraging range of motion.
00:10:34.67\00:10:38.55
And dictate how
hard you want to go.
00:10:38.56\00:10:41.05
We want to change
your comfort range.
00:10:44.51\00:10:47.28
The philosophy I always
go with as you can always
00:10:47.29\00:10:49.87
start too easy
because you can add more.
00:10:49.88\00:10:52.74
But if you start too
hard I've seen people come out
00:10:52.75\00:10:55.95
and beat
themselves up the first day
00:10:55.96\00:10:58.51
and it takes them two
weeks just to get back
00:10:58.52\00:11:00.56
to where they were
before they started.
00:11:00.57\00:11:02.49
And we have people
come for wellness program
00:11:02.50\00:11:04.30
for a two or three weeks.
00:11:04.31\00:11:05.82
If we beat them up
like that I'll spend
00:11:05.83\00:11:08.24
the whole time just
getting them back to where
00:11:08.25\00:11:09.70
they were when they
started when they came in.
00:11:09.71\00:11:10.99
Now we don't want to do
that, it's not very successful.
00:11:11.00\00:11:13.22
So we want to start gently
and then work our way into it.
00:11:13.23\00:11:17.13
It's a good range
of motion, push down.
00:11:17.14\00:11:21.29
Okay, let's do about five more.
00:11:21.30\00:11:23.54
And two more,
push down, last one.
00:11:29.82\00:11:34.98
Okay, let's just
bring your arm across
00:11:34.99\00:11:36.76
and stretch the shoulder area.
00:11:36.77\00:11:39.05
Five more
seconds. Okay, switch it.
00:11:44.20\00:11:48.47
Once again with fibromyalgia
00:11:52.32\00:11:53.41
we don't have to push too hard,
00:11:53.42\00:11:56.00
just a nice easy stretch.
00:11:56.01\00:11:57.94
Okay, now we're
gonna go of to the legs.
00:12:01.73\00:12:05.26
When you deal with fibromyalgia
00:12:05.27\00:12:06.59
its very important to be
able get around and move around,
00:12:06.60\00:12:09.10
but we also have to be
careful about how much we do.
00:12:09.11\00:12:11.71
So we're gonna
take one leg at a time
00:12:11.72\00:12:13.63
and I want you to brace
your hands underneath your leg,
00:12:13.64\00:12:16.22
we're gonna extend the
leg out and bring it back.
00:12:16.23\00:12:18.68
Once again looking
for range of motion,
00:12:18.69\00:12:20.15
we're going to do
extensions and back, good.
00:12:20.16\00:12:24.23
Now reason why we've got
our hands underneath our leg
00:12:24.24\00:12:26.92
is the length of
the chair is not long
00:12:26.93\00:12:28.93
as to be able to
bring the leg back
00:12:28.94\00:12:30.67
comfortably without
bracing it up little bit,
00:12:30.68\00:12:32.80
so we're gonna do that.
00:12:32.81\00:12:34.08
We're gonna try to do 20 times,
00:12:34.09\00:12:35.82
each time at the top
you try to flex the leg
00:12:35.83\00:12:38.98
as much as you're comfortable
00:12:38.99\00:12:40.02
with and then pull it back down.
00:12:40.03\00:12:43.77
Good keep going.
00:12:43.78\00:12:45.15
Ten more, its one, way up
high till you're fully extended.
00:12:49.60\00:12:55.91
Three, four,
five, good, six, seven,
00:12:55.92\00:13:06.80
eight, nine, one
more time, ten, good.
00:13:06.81\00:13:12.00
Okay, let's switch legs now.
00:13:12.01\00:13:15.20
Okay, same thing.
00:13:15.21\00:13:16.72
Feel the extension all
the way straight to the top.
00:13:24.84\00:13:29.76
And you dictate
how hard you work
00:13:29.77\00:13:31.78
by how hard you
contract the thigh at the top.
00:13:31.79\00:13:35.20
Let's do ten more.
00:13:35.21\00:13:38.67
You're popping? Probably.
00:13:38.68\00:13:40.14
Good, four more.
00:13:44.69\00:13:46.15
Okay, I want you to put
both legs out straight now.
00:13:52.84\00:13:57.71
Now what I want you
do is turn your toes out,
00:13:57.72\00:14:00.40
now bring it back
in, okay, and out.
00:14:00.41\00:14:04.03
You get your feet
part just a little bit,
00:14:04.04\00:14:05.54
so you can get little more
range of motion coming back in.
00:14:05.55\00:14:07.93
Okay, so we want, there you go
00:14:07.94\00:14:09.32
turn all the way
out and then turn in.
00:14:09.33\00:14:12.28
Okay, so you might get your
feet apart just little more,
00:14:12.29\00:14:15.45
and then we come back
in, do like that okay, good.
00:14:15.46\00:14:18.74
Good, keep it going.
00:14:18.75\00:14:19.76
Go to comfort on this.
00:14:22.92\00:14:25.43
If you have to put
your legs down that's okay,
00:14:25.44\00:14:27.33
its up to you keep going.
00:14:27.34\00:14:28.69
We're gonna try
to do 20 of these,
00:14:33.57\00:14:34.81
its 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
00:14:34.82\00:14:44.56
15, 16 good 17,
three more, good.
00:14:44.57\00:14:53.05
Okay, now I want
you to skewed up,
00:14:53.06\00:14:54.80
so you're on the
edge of the chair,
00:14:54.81\00:14:57.80
take your toes in behind
you little bit, there we go.
00:14:57.81\00:15:01.07
Now I want you to
push way up under the toes
00:15:01.08\00:15:04.00
and try to flat
them down as much,
00:15:04.01\00:15:05.61
and you go stretch
back good, up and down,
00:15:05.62\00:15:09.61
so we're gonna do a
modify calf weights.
00:15:09.62\00:15:12.24
So encouraging
the range of motion
00:15:12.25\00:15:15.31
without too much stimulation.
00:15:15.32\00:15:17.09
It wouldn't--it just not
gonna take somebody very long,
00:15:20.14\00:15:23.09
if they do this exercise
routine on a regular basis
00:15:23.10\00:15:25.80
to get where they can
do more intensified workout
00:15:25.81\00:15:28.15
and that's the
whole goal to get somebody
00:15:28.16\00:15:30.57
at least doing some movement
00:15:30.58\00:15:32.78
because often times
people do actually nothing
00:15:32.79\00:15:34.65
because they feel like anything
00:15:34.66\00:15:35.73
they do is gonna
hurt so why even try.
00:15:35.74\00:15:38.40
But if they start
with this exercise
00:15:38.41\00:15:40.15
even though it
might seem very simple
00:15:40.16\00:15:42.16
it won't be too long before now
00:15:42.17\00:15:43.69
we can make a more
and more and more intense.
00:15:43.70\00:15:46.46
And the stronger they get,
00:15:46.47\00:15:48.58
the better they
can become and the more
00:15:48.59\00:15:49.95
they can be able to do
without experiencing pain.
00:15:49.96\00:15:52.28
So let's do ten more.
00:15:52.29\00:15:56.39
Good, you're looking good.
00:15:56.40\00:15:59.43
And five more times.
00:15:59.44\00:16:00.49
Two more.
00:16:04.90\00:16:08.27
Okay, so back in the chairs.
00:16:08.28\00:16:11.74
Now what I want to do
00:16:11.75\00:16:12.82
is I want to have
your hands on your abdomen
00:16:12.83\00:16:15.72
and we're gonna crunch forward,
00:16:15.73\00:16:17.19
we're gonna do
an abdominal crunch
00:16:17.20\00:16:18.48
just sitting in the chair
and then back. Okay, good.
00:16:18.49\00:16:24.25
Okay, you want to
push the lower back
00:16:29.55\00:16:31.30
into the chair
each time you do it.
00:16:31.31\00:16:34.84
There, that's better.
00:16:34.85\00:16:36.67
So you want to feel
yourself crunch over
00:16:36.68\00:16:38.87
and remember you want to exhale
00:16:38.88\00:16:41.38
as you come forward on this.
00:16:41.39\00:16:44.21
Exhale good.
00:16:44.22\00:16:46.07
Another thing we
find very helpful
00:16:50.17\00:16:51.81
for people with fibromyalgia,
00:16:51.82\00:16:53.68
if they will take in a lot
of fresh fruits and vegetables,
00:16:53.69\00:16:57.29
sometime very helpful
for helping immune system.
00:16:57.30\00:16:59.84
Also drinking a lot of water,
00:16:59.85\00:17:01.75
keeping the body
flushed out very beneficial,
00:17:01.76\00:17:04.61
where it deals immune system
problems like fibromyalgia.
00:17:04.62\00:17:08.46
Okay, let's keep it going.
00:17:08.47\00:17:09.79
Let's do seven more.
00:17:18.22\00:17:19.58
Five more, good.
00:17:25.13\00:17:27.62
Keep drawing in
each time you do it,
00:17:27.63\00:17:29.46
you should be
feeling your abdominal.
00:17:29.47\00:17:31.45
Two more.
00:17:35.52\00:17:36.60
Okay, so slide to
the edge of chair again.
00:17:38.78\00:17:43.28
Now we're going to
just, just put the hand up
00:17:43.29\00:17:46.12
and we're gonna do a
rotate trunk rotation.
00:17:46.13\00:17:48.74
Okay, turn into back round.
00:17:48.75\00:17:51.89
We just gonna do some
range of motion with this.
00:17:56.02\00:17:58.19
We can induce and
try to do 20 each way.
00:17:58.20\00:18:00.86
There's three, four, five,
00:18:00.87\00:18:10.19
good keep it going.
00:18:10.20\00:18:11.89
Remember we don't
want to do the side bends.
00:18:11.90\00:18:14.36
Often times people
will take heavy weights
00:18:14.37\00:18:17.45
and put them in their hands
00:18:17.46\00:18:18.59
and they will trip to the side.
00:18:18.60\00:18:20.40
What they end up doing is
building the external obliques
00:18:20.41\00:18:22.63
and making their
waist even wider.
00:18:22.64\00:18:24.93
I don't think we
want that, do we?
00:18:24.94\00:18:26.26
No, we don't, okay.
00:18:26.27\00:18:28.62
So we'll stay with
the rotations instead.
00:18:28.63\00:18:32.85
Okay, I think that's 12
00:18:32.86\00:18:33.93
and we're gonna do eight more.
00:18:33.94\00:18:36.75
There's one,
two, three, four, five
00:18:36.76\00:18:48.79
and we're gonna
do three more, six,
00:18:48.80\00:18:54.11
seven last one
coming up eight, okay good.
00:18:54.12\00:18:58.60
Now we're gonna do is
we're gonna lay on the floor
00:18:58.61\00:19:01.31
and we're gonna do
some easy stretches.
00:19:01.32\00:19:02.55
I'm gonna slide the
chairs back for you.
00:19:02.56\00:19:04.93
Okay, go ahead and lay
down on the floor there.
00:19:04.94\00:19:07.06
And once you lay on your side,
00:19:11.67\00:19:13.68
you're just gonna make
yourself comfortable there.
00:19:13.69\00:19:15.83
I want you get
a hold of an ankle
00:19:15.84\00:19:17.85
and pull the quadriceps
back and stretch that.
00:19:17.86\00:19:21.57
Okay, it's a nice easy stretch.
00:19:21.58\00:19:23.56
You hold that for about a ten
or fifteen seconds time period.
00:19:26.60\00:19:29.78
Okay, let's turn
over the other side now.
00:19:36.30\00:19:38.30
Okay, on the
stretch very important
00:19:47.24\00:19:49.76
is to pull to a point
where you feel it stretching
00:19:49.77\00:19:53.92
and must not go into
a point of irritation.
00:19:53.93\00:19:57.33
It's a nice general stretch.
00:19:57.34\00:19:58.92
Okay, let's lay on the back.
00:20:03.48\00:20:07.10
Let's pull a knee
up towards the chest.
00:20:07.11\00:20:09.39
Good, just feel that stretch.
00:20:13.92\00:20:17.10
Again we're gonna hold
for about 10 to 15 seconds.
00:20:20.30\00:20:22.72
Okay, switch legs.
00:20:28.68\00:20:30.16
Should be feeling this back
in the gluteal hamstring tie in.
00:20:36.74\00:20:51.74
Okay, good.
00:20:51.75\00:20:53.34
Okay, let's come
back upon the feet.
00:20:53.35\00:20:57.49
Okay, we're gonna
stretch inside the thigh now.
00:20:57.50\00:20:59.90
We just gonna
step out to the side.
00:20:59.91\00:21:02.56
You feel stretching for there.
00:21:02.57\00:21:04.48
Okay, now we're gonna
rotate, move to the other side.
00:21:13.15\00:21:16.94
Okay, now let's go back again.
00:21:25.56\00:21:27.90
You feel that stretch
in the inside of the thigh.
00:21:31.19\00:21:33.52
And rotate to
get back over here.
00:21:38.62\00:21:41.07
Okay and relax.
00:21:49.75\00:21:51.52
Okay, let's stretch the calf.
00:21:51.53\00:21:53.96
Switch back press
the heel little forward.
00:21:53.97\00:21:57.48
You feel the stretch in the back
00:22:03.43\00:22:04.65
of the calf
Achilles tendon area.
00:22:04.66\00:22:07.03
Okay, let's change.
00:22:13.83\00:22:15.13
Feel that stretch again.
00:22:18.30\00:22:20.33
Go for five more seconds.
00:22:26.12\00:22:27.64
Okay, good okay.
00:22:31.04\00:22:33.45
Now we're gonna do is
we're gonna roll the shoulders.
00:22:33.46\00:22:38.38
Nice and gentle all
the way up and around.
00:22:38.39\00:22:42.33
It's been
working in the muscles up
00:22:49.84\00:22:52.37
around the neck, upper back.
00:22:52.38\00:22:55.21
Let's do five more.
00:23:04.25\00:23:05.66
Okay, let's reverse it
come to the other position.
00:23:14.42\00:23:17.83
Come around and
grab the shoulders way up
00:23:17.84\00:23:21.54
and just feel around, good.
00:23:21.55\00:23:23.55
Its again we're just
working range of motion.
00:23:31.55\00:23:35.60
Way up high bring it around.
00:23:35.61\00:23:37.38
Two more.
00:23:46.64\00:23:50.39
Okay, now with our
hands in front of us.
00:23:50.40\00:23:51.96
We're just gonna pick them
up like this and back down.
00:23:51.97\00:23:55.02
This will be working in
the trapezius area again
00:24:00.34\00:24:02.34
the muscles of the
neck and the shoulders.
00:24:02.35\00:24:09.46
This will help us to make sure
the muscles around the neck,
00:24:09.47\00:24:12.96
so we turn and look
in very well conditioned
00:24:12.97\00:24:18.60
and less likely to be
injured or irritating.
00:24:18.61\00:24:22.58
Let's do ten more.
00:24:22.59\00:24:23.91
Okay, five more.
00:24:35.53\00:24:36.95
Good, two more.
00:24:43.70\00:24:44.99
Just picking up. Good.
00:24:48.19\00:24:50.55
Okay, now we're gonna do
00:24:50.56\00:24:51.72
is we're gonna
turn on catch the side.
00:24:51.73\00:24:56.41
Feel the stretch on our neck.
00:24:56.42\00:24:58.01
Okay, let's turn
at the other way.
00:25:02.00\00:25:03.46
And back to left again.
00:25:10.72\00:25:12.45
Okay, back to the right.
00:25:19.37\00:25:20.69
Okay, good.
00:25:25.04\00:25:26.32
Now from standing position
00:25:26.33\00:25:27.56
we go and do
little rotation from here.
00:25:27.57\00:25:29.54
Okay, back again. Turn.
00:25:38.61\00:25:44.29
Let's do three more.
00:25:48.09\00:25:49.60
There's one and
two, one more time, good.
00:25:52.67\00:26:07.15
Okay, okay, thank you ladies.
00:26:07.16\00:26:09.91
What we just did is
a, a very limited sample
00:26:14.17\00:26:17.11
of what is possible for
those with fibromyalgia.
00:26:17.12\00:26:19.74
Often times at
our health facility
00:26:19.75\00:26:22.81
we have people come
in with fibromyalgia
00:26:22.82\00:26:24.33
and other autoimmune disorders
00:26:24.34\00:26:26.24
and they ask what
can possibly to be done.
00:26:26.25\00:26:28.04
Well, there's many things.
00:26:28.05\00:26:29.47
Various treatments
can be very helpful
00:26:29.48\00:26:31.32
for helping fibromyalgia,
contrast showers, massages,
00:26:31.33\00:26:35.48
anything that's
going to stimulate
00:26:35.49\00:26:37.30
the immune system
will be very beneficial.
00:26:37.31\00:26:39.73
Getting on a proper
diet, eliminating foods
00:26:39.74\00:26:42.36
that are gonna be
really empty calories,
00:26:42.37\00:26:44.61
refined food
specially I would really
00:26:44.62\00:26:46.43
stay away from or high
fats or high protein diets,
00:26:46.44\00:26:49.62
things are gonna tend to
weaken the immune system.
00:26:49.63\00:26:51.86
Want to make sure we get
lots of fruits and vegetables
00:26:51.87\00:26:54.60
at least five to six servings
00:26:54.61\00:26:55.89
of raw fruits and
vegetables everyday.
00:26:55.90\00:26:57.69
The average American
slips way down on that.
00:26:57.70\00:26:59.95
They only get serving
raw fruits and vegetables
00:26:59.96\00:27:02.06
every seven to fourteen days.
00:27:02.07\00:27:03.75
Another key
component for the immune system
00:27:03.76\00:27:05.68
and fibromyalgia is
getting plenty of rest,
00:27:05.69\00:27:08.54
going to bed at
a consistent time,
00:27:08.55\00:27:10.63
waking up at a regular time
00:27:10.64\00:27:12.27
and getting adequate amount
of sleep at the proper time.
00:27:12.28\00:27:15.08
Often times people who
get this type of conditions
00:27:15.09\00:27:17.53
are those who have
to put in crazy hours.
00:27:17.54\00:27:19.97
One night they were
staying up until after midnight
00:27:19.98\00:27:22.55
and next night they are
going to bed at 8 o'clock
00:27:22.56\00:27:24.54
and it really
throws their body off.
00:27:24.55\00:27:26.49
So with fibromyalgia
we can make our lifestyle
00:27:26.50\00:27:29.66
much more regulated along with
getting this regular exercise,
00:27:29.67\00:27:33.70
the full range of motions
00:27:33.71\00:27:34.79
so forth we can
do some great things
00:27:34.80\00:27:36.98
and really
reverse this condition.
00:27:36.99\00:27:38.79
And also we do all this
things for the glory of God.
00:27:38.80\00:27:41.41
Remember that He
wants us to be healthy
00:27:41.42\00:27:43.42
and then if we
keep focus on the fact
00:27:43.43\00:27:44.87
that all things do
work together for good
00:27:44.88\00:27:46.72
for those who love the Lord.
00:27:46.73\00:27:47.87
He claimed that
promise we took him to bury.
00:27:47.88\00:27:50.09
God bless you.
We'll see you next time.
00:27:50.10\00:27:52.49
