again thank you all.

to add i do have a dog and it is a jackrussel but he is older than me and living in somerset on a farm he only needs the back door to be open and if we go for a walk i have to carry him back as he just sits down as soon as we turn round to come back.
mr wonderful if this had happened 1 year ago i would have put this down to the stress now day trading within my comfort zone and with more experience i find it will not affect me i now go into a trade with an amount i will lose not win.

royce, you are a young man. keep on mate!

limousine, well done. the shopping break is not just physical exercise - and walking is one of the most underestimated aerobic exercises, but you need to walk swiftly and coniunously, but not to any extraordinary degree. it realy healps to structure your time and get over the boredome that is likeley to beset one after hours of gazing at the monitor.

charlet gir, quite agree, aerobic exercises do not need to be vigorous, but you need to push yourself slightly above your existing limits. you should be breathing slightly above your natural rate but still be able to hold simple conversation.

Royce
To me excersice is a hugely underestimated factor regarding good health,I am 37 and a few years ago I took up cycling and it totally changed the way I felt at home and at work.I now feel as healthy as I was when I was 18,you really can feel the good it is doing you.
I hope you feel better and thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

Royce,

We met briefly at the traders meet at Martworm's place. Was horrified to read about your illness. Must be shattering for you and your family. I do so hope you're well and truly on the mend and on the way to a full recovery. Your post highlights what a thoroughly unhealthy pastime we all share - I guess the adrenaline and inactivity are a deadly mix - and shows the value of fitting in regular exercise and taking breaks in the day when trading lulls. When all's said and done, life and good health are what truly matters.

Best of luck...Nick

Sorry to hear of your illness but am glad you are on the way to recovery. Best Wishes to youl I agree with jackrussell. I have 3 Great Danes and they start my day off on the right foot (so to speak). But we should all know that at about 11.30am you can afford to leave the screen for a few laps around the block until 2.30 when the dow and naz opens.

Best Wishes Tricia

jackrussel.

A good story of a fightback there. Congrats. Pip is the smaller type who should be bald the amount of hair she sheds. Trying to say no to a run as she sits looking up is impossible. That's why I reccomended a Jackie to Royce. Tonight was cold but feel better for the walk. Cheers.

Could anyone with the IT skillset put up a table where those who opted in could log exercise for that day and week?

For Example I did ten lengths of a 25 metre pool today - usually more but I was on life saving duty.

Tomorrow to the New Gym in Shepherd's Bush to row 3200 metres.

I rather suspect without Royce's post both those may have been forgotten
or euphemistically put - postponed

I have another idea, now implemented.

I am using my wifes birthing ball, and very comfortable it is. I can exercise while typing!

Good luck Royce, and a swift return to full health. All of us risk the same if we sit too much. Maybe a standing trading station is the thing ... keep us thinking on our toes.

Thanks for sharing that Royce. Everyone believes it will never happen them. One hell of a realisation when it does though, no matter what it is. Good to have your mind working again.

hi Royce,

just to add my best wishes for your recovery too! must have been terrible shock.

and as women love to give advice:

i advise you choose low volatile shares that have wide trading ranges, then as you put your trade in at the bottom, (stop in place) you nip out of the side door, couple of laps around the fish pond, and arrive back in place to see you stock reach its target! and if that doesnt move the old circulation and least it will give your neighbours something to talk about!

all the best

Royce

Your post made for chilling reading,i have been concerned about myself in recent months so this is the spur i needed to do something about it.

A big thanks for posting it so graphically... but would you say that stress/emotion played a part in the months prior to the illness - which may have contributed as well as the other factors you've mentioned.- (i.e. stress when your trades are in place - a situation I find myself in sometimes,) if so is it possible to say to what extent - if at all.

I hope you get back to full fitness soon

regards

glenn

royce,

Best wishes, I hope you recover soon.Thanks for the advice/warning to all of us.

Re Lofty's comments in message 58, I had a straight leg - duff knee and hip 6 years ago ( an old injury came home to roost ).
Local specialist offered to do a fibre optic and poke about, but could see nothing on the Xrays.
I declined the offer !
Found an exceptional osteopath locally who worked magic with my joint problems, then sent me to a Shiatsu therapist who was equally magic.
Got a Jack Russell ( the big variety as per Frasier TV prog and many adverts )5 years who insists on keeping me fit, and does an exceptional job of it.
I am now in my early fifties and definitely much fitter than I was 10 years ago, - and no limp.
I feel I have been very lucky so far, your story and others confirm it.

Like many on here, I work from home in a screen intensive job and over the past 6 months have come to realise how drained I am after an intensive session.
I am trying to cut down my screen hours, or at least break them into manageable chunks between less sedentary activities.

For those who have the inclination and circumstances to acquire a dog, I can thoroughly recommend it. Even after a bad trading day, he can still make you smile ! ( even in Winter )

AHKEEN AT HARRODS,GO FOR IT.

[czechmate] 09/12/2001 17:15

Want to add my thanks to you for posting your experience. My working life has long been a sedentary one, but with the coming of the pc, ever more so. Have learnt though to walk into town at least once a day, even if just to post the letters and even though it is just ten minutes there and ten back.

So glad you are almost completely recovered.

Best wishes, c
