Visitors' Stories -- Angela (page 2 of 2) that most matters to me…running. I started with 3 minutes on the treadmill followed by 5 or so of walking, and repeated the sequence a few times. It was difficult and awkward. I was a "runner" and normally ran up to 5-7 miles. It was sad and frustrating to feel the movement of my breasts, the added weight, and the discomfort. I could not imagine how "large-chested" women went jogging. WEEK 5: I am currently in week 5 and am fully participating in spinning classes, and the above mentioned activities. Arm movement is now easy and normal, and my chest muscles are no longer tight. I still do not do direct chest exercises as I do not even see the need to do them at this stage in my life. I do, however, work my shoulders, biceps and triceps. Yesterday I was able to run 30 minutes (at a slow pace) on a cemented beach path. When I first started out it was odd to feel my chest bouncing a bit. After the first 10 minutes, I was used to it. I am a firm believer that a sports bra makes a huge difference and is required. I still wear a band on the top part of my chest for running. It helps minimize the bounce. As you can see, I am only at the beginning of week 5 and have been able to not only exercise, but maintain my weight, my figure and my sanity! As I frequently see questions posted on the site regarding exercise, I thought it might be helpful to share my story. Hoping with my heart that it is helpful and emphasizing that each person's recovery is different and therefore your ability to exercise will vary. Best wishes! |
