Dont Ever be discouraged (A wasted and damaging emotion), do what you can. If some emergency happens in your life and you miss a few days or any amount of time JUST jump back in. Exercising your body compared to not Exercising your body is always the positive choice. There are also floor exercises you can do to work on each of these muscle groups.

A guide I put together years ago.

For a close to complete body workout, knock off these weight exercises daily or every other day. A pair of dumbbells is all that is needed for most exercises. If you dont have dumbbells use pressure against a wall or doorway, etc. Of course use no equipment and knock off lots of push ups and sit ups. I think a short workout with weights is a good start before knocking off quality push ups, plus you can be in any shape to do the following weight routine. OF COURSE, IF YOU havent been exercising start any weight lifting at the number of repetitions thats good for you. Unless you are young and can push yourself without getting hurt, do the number of repetitions that is good for you, even if that is ONE lift of each type exercise. You will be in shape in no time, but you have to start sometime.

Its amazing how fast the body can get into good shape if you stick with it. Im talking a few weeks. You may not be at the exact body shape or strength goals you set, but I Guarantee you will feel completely different. If you dont it means you havent advanced to the weight level or number of repetitions that your body is craving.

If you can combine this with Yoga (good flexibility will make you feel great and is a treat for your body) and aerobic activity, i.e. biking, swimming, fast walking, aerobics class, running, baseball, softball, tennis, volleyball, rowing, hiking, etc. or most any fun aerobic game or exercise then you are off to a Great Health Start.

I GAURANTEE you will feel great, but I think you already know this. MAKE THE TIME, even if it is isometrics at your office desk or walking around the block. You do this enough and I guarantee you will crave to go further.

Throw in some good eating (maybe juicing greens and an apple) and everything in your life will be THE BEST including keeping everything in perspective, this includes handling challenges that come your way.

IMPORTANT: For maximum benefit and less likely hood of injury Stretch before and after each exercise, especially the area used in the exercise.

Shoulders/ Upper Arms Alternate Dumbbell Press

Trap. Deltoid Up Right Rows

Deltoid Lateral Arm Raise

Forward Dumbbell Raise

Biceps/ Forearms Alternate Dumbbell Curls
Hammer Curl
Concentration Curl
Biceps Barbell curl

Pectorals Dumbbell Fly

Tricep Extension II

Abdominals/ obliques Side Bend

Many more good basic weight lifting but this covers a good amount.

There are also floor exercise you can do to work on each of these muscle groups.

If you have time see how many pushups or sit ups you can knock off in 2 minutes. (2 minutes of pushups and 2 minutes of sit ups).

A note: if your body is shaped for most strength on top, great concerning push ups. If your body is not shaped that way dont be discouraged with the push ups. Move on to the sit ups, you may be pleasantly surprised.

VERY NOTEWORTHY:

If you have gotten even a little out of shape and are trying to slim down be aware of the following. When you start to loose weight you may notice parts of your body (i.e.your abdomen or other parts) seem even more pronounced. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. When you start to tone your body (after even a small amount of weight gain) your abdomen, for example may seem more pronounced but it will be temporary and is only because your muscles may be getting more toned and slimmer and any extra weight (even the slightest) may be pronounced until your whole system is slimmed down. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED and also note you may be getting healthier and in shape but your scale may show otherwise becuse of more dense muscle. This is were many people trying to loose weight get discouraged. Do Not BE, get past that initial body re-alignment and the rewards will be priceless. Remember Health is Wealth.

Personally I never use a scale. I go by how my clothes fit, concerning any weight change.

I have been in the peak of shape and I have not used a scale, unless I am at the Dr.s, since I turned 18.

Back pain can be caused by a variety of reasons and is generally a very painful condition that requires diligent attention and treatment. Pains below the waist are often called lower back pains and can be caused my muscle pulls or straining the muscles with heavy work or lifting heavy objects, moving or sleeping in awkward position etc.

Spinal infections and fractures might also cause lower back pain. In most cases the cause of the problem is that a particular nerve or a set of nerves are being pinched. The pinching can be caused due to the rupture of a disc in the spinal card or when a disc bulges and presses a nerve root. This causes a lot of pain to the patient. Sometimes the pain will decrease or go away completely by sitting or bending in a particular position etc. but if the pain continues, a check-up is necessary

Lower back surgery is the solution when such a pain continues for a period of time or becomes unbearable. Before considering lower back surgery, the patient has to consult their doctor or physician and check out the various options available and also get a complete information about the lower back surgery procedure, its recovery procedures, risks involved, expected costs etc.

Sometimes other options like traction, physiotherapy and others can be used in the place of lower back surgery if the problem is mild and curable. Lower back surgery is not a minor surgery and has to be approached with care. Patients are normally advised to do mild exercises and keep themselves healthy before the operation and might also be told to quick smoking.

The surgery might involve making cuts and incisions and moving the muscles so that the surgeon gets a good look and approach on the spine, the discs etc. Newer inventions like Lasers and bone grafts with genetically engineered protein that induce a persons bones to grow and fuse together have been making the lower back surgery a more simple, safe and easy procedure. They help the surgeon by removing the need to make large cuts or incisions etc and help the patient by reducing the risks and pain involved , thus speeding up the recovery procedure.

After the lower back surgery, the patients should try to maintain good health and fitness. exercises will be advised for the patient for the patient. exercises or other treatments like Yoga etc have to be practiced with great care and only with qualified teachers. Also the teachers or trainers should be aware of the lower back surgery and details.
