Special Topics Keeping FitPatients ask me how I keep fit. The answer often surprises them. Some people expect me to have some special osteopathic hi-tech program that keeps me superfit and immune to all illness. The reality: I do four things: when I go out of the house I walk whenever possible, I use a rebounder when I feel like it and a flexibar when I feel like it and I do a bit of stretching now and then. That's it! What could be more fun than bouncing gently up and down on a rebounder? Probably lots of things. But it's not a bad way to get some exercise. Look at some of the advantages.
For upper body conditioning I like a Flexibar. It involves gripping a bendy bar, about 4 feet long and making it wobble in a harmonic way. Once you get the hang of it there are all sorts of "core stability" workouts you can do. Again like the rebounder it feels like play. So there we have my whole exercise routine:
My favourite book of stretches is Yoga for Wimps: Poses for the Flexibly Challenged
