Here are some general recommendations for strength training with HCM: * Focus on low-weight, high-repetition exercises. This will help to tone muscles without putting too much stress on the heart. * Avoid isometric exercises. These exercises involve contracting the muscles without moving the joints, which can cause blood pressure to spike. * Warm up properly before each workout and cool down afterward. This will help to gradually increase and decrease heart rate. * Be aware of your body and stop if you experience any chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness. Remember, it's always best to err on the side of caution when exercising with HCM. With proper guidance from a healthcare professional, you can develop a safe and effective strength training program that meets your individual needs #cardiomyopathy
These are general recommendations and it's always best to consult with a doctor or physical therapist before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have an injury. They can tailor a program to your specific needs and ensure you're performing the exercises safely and effectively.
Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH): A genetic disorder characterized by very high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from a young age. It is caused by mutations in genes involved in cholesterol metabolism, such as the LDL receptor gene. People with FH are at a higher risk of early-onset heart disease.Primary Hypercholesterolemia: Often due to genetic factors, but not as severe as familial hypercholesterolemia. It can be influenced by diet and lifestyle but primarily has a genetic basis.Secondary Hypercholesterolemia: Caused by other conditions or lifestyle factors such as:Poor diet (high in saturated fats and trans fats)Lack of exerciseObesityDiabetesHypothyroidismCertain medications (e.g., corticosteroids, thiazide diuretics)
There's more to the cholesterol than just diet and exercise Alcohol Consumption: Excessive alcohol intake can raise cholesterol and triglyceride levels.Stress: Chronic stress can lead to increased cholesterol levels due to the release of stress hormones like cortisol.Body Weight: Even if you're exercising, carrying extra weight can increase cholesterol levels, particularly if there's a higher amount of visceral fat.Lack of Sleep: Poor sleep quality or sleep disorders can negatively impact cholesterol levels.Smoking: Smoking lowers HDL (good) cholesterol and increases LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides.Consulting a healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment can help identify specific causes in your case and tailor an appropriate management plan.
Avoid High-Impact and High-Intensity Workouts: Avoid activities that involve heavy lifting, twisting, or high-impact movements like running or jumping, as they can aggravate sciatica symptoms.Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body responds to different exercises. If an activity increases your pain, stop doing it and consult your healthcare provider.Gradual Progression: Start slowly and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts as your symptoms allow.Posture and Form: Maintain proper posture and form during exercises to avoid additional strain on your back and legs.Heat and Ice Therapy: Using heat before exercising to relax muscles and ice after exercising to reduce inflammation can help manage pain.

Ever wonder why your feet turn outwards? Tight external rotators could be the culprit! Tight external rotators of the hip can contribute to outward toeing. The external rotator muscles are located on the outer side of the hip and are responsible for rotating the leg outwards. When these muscles become tight, they can pull the femur (thigh bone) outwards, which can cause the feet to point outwards as well.
Several factors can contribute to tight external rotators, including:
Sitting for long periods and bad posture : Sitting with your legs crossed or in a hunched position can shorten the external rotators.
Certain activities: Activities that involve repetitive external rotation of the hip, such as ballet dancing or football, can tighten these muscles.
Injury: An injury to the hip or leg can damage the external rotators and lead to tightness.
Tight external rotators are not the only cause of outward toeing. Other factors, such as femoral anteversion or tibial torsion, can also play a role. Treatment for outward toeing will vary depending on the underlying cause after proper assessment by an health care professional.
