Greetings listers!
I am unsure of who I should direct this question to so I’ll post it here.
I was wondering what would need to be done to get a beep baseball clinic going at the convention this year. The state of Tx has several beepball teams and I feel as if they would help us get it going.
To learn more about Beep Baseball visit:
nbba.org
Thanks in advance!

Hi Julie,
If your doctor has cleared you to do any activities, then I suggest getting right back into your walking routine. You probably won't be at the same level as before, but regardless of what exercise program you use you will have to work back up to your pre-injury levels. Without a more in-depth review of your records or a mobility evaluation, my "best guess" based on what you've mentioned is that your at the "suck it up" part of your recovery, where you will have some discomfort performing your walking routine but this discomfort probably will not causing any further damage. Be sure to include lots of flexibility exercises and movements to strengthen the muscles that support the ankle. Some exercises might include deep calf raises off a step or curb, dorsal flexion (raising the top of the foot towards the shins) of the foot (try draping a folded sock over the top of the foot and standing on the ends with the other, then flex the foot against the resistance), and picking up items or crumpling newspape
r pages with your toes. The last couple sound goofy, and feel even more ridiculous when you do them, but these are a couple of good ways to work all the small support muscles of the foot and ankle. I also have a few rotational exercises for the ankles if you want to contact me off list (a little to complex to describe in an open forum).

As for using the swim buoy (I missed who asked), be sure to also include some kickboard laps for the legs. In my experience, it has been a lot easier to put the whole swim stroke together when I work on the arms and legs independently first. I also found using the buoy great for working on rotating my shoulders in the front crawl/freestyle stroke (I don't know about other people, but the over-exaggerated rotation is the only way I can get my head out of the water to breathe, and I have a great aversion to drowning...Go figure).

Kelly,
That over exaggeration was so awesome to learn when I finally did otherwise
I could only rotery breathe to one side. If I can do it to both sides it
helps me swim straighter as well. I guess sometimes change is good. It was
odd at first, but once you get it, it makes sense.

Kelly and all,
I guess I wasn't clear about the sorts of exercise ideas I was
requesting. I have stretches and the walking I'm supposed to be doing
for my foot. I'm supposed to work the foot every other day.
What I'm looking for is exercise for the rest of me. *smile* The foot
injury brought a halt to my regular forms of exercise. I want to find
new ways of working out that will be more of a whole body fitness
program, not just therapeutic for my foot. I intend to do the whole
body workout on the days I don't do the foot specific exercises, because
the foot specific exercise does nothing for me in the way of cardio,
upper body or much of anything else. It's great for the foot though,
that's coming along fine!
Bill has graciously offered to help me come up with a routine that will
meet my needs. I'm still open to other ideas. I love to hear about
all the different ways people are finding their exercise enjoyable.
Thanks!
Julie

Ashley,
How expensive is an adapt tap and where can they usually be purchased? Have
you used one? More info would be appreciated!
Happy New Year!!!

Bonnie,
I haven't seen them. Don't know what the
pool bouy is. But the adapt tap is something for blind people to stay
swimming straight and know where the end is.

I echo the sentaments about the pool. And, last time I check Kiefer had the
AdapTap online for a reasonable price. If you didn't want to use your legs
you can use a pool buoy. It is such great exercise....

Hi,
Here's a link to the AdapTap:

And a pool buoy is foam and you hold it between your legs helps keep your
legs afloat and then you just do your prefered stroke.

Bonnie,
I haven't seen them. Don't know what the
pool bouy is. But the adapt tap is something for blind people to stay
swimming straight and know where the end is.

I echo the sentaments about the pool. And, last time I check Kiefer had the
AdapTap online for a reasonable price. If you didn't want to use your legs
you can use a pool buoy. It is such great exercise....

I think they run around $29 for the four rods. Two to be place at each end.
Those are longer. If shorter ones are placed, they can serve as orientation
for the length of the lane and keep you out of the lane ropes. It's really
nifty.

Hey All!
This is a great topic we're discussing. Just to ad my two cents worth...
I've discovered these awesome apps in the app store and have downloaded them
and used them to exercise. I find them mostly accessible, and now that you
can label buttons in apps on your iPhone, it has become a bit easier to use.
Anyways, the Lolo exercise apps are the ones I speak of. I've downloaded
Easy Abs, Easy Legs and Treadmill something or other. I've been using the
treadmill app to use my treadmill with some program. You simply set up your
profile and set a length of time you want to run ande if you are running
outside or on your treadmill. The program talks you through a workout
encouraging you to suck in your abs, etc, etc. It starts with a warm up and
takes you through different speeds and inclines. My last run which was day
four of running took me through some killer intervals. It's really great and
I need to get back on the treadmill and start running again. I've taken a
few weeks off. Also, you can post your results on social media. It's kind of
cool to get your friends to say how well you've done for running 3.5 miles
and burning so many calories.
I haven't tried out easy legs but downloaded it because it claims to have
audio described videos of each exercise. The great thing about easy legs and
easy abs is they are supr short workouts of either 5, 8 or 10 minutes long.
Anyone can get a 5 minute workout in during the day.
The apps are from 99 cents to 3.99 but totally worth it especially if you're
looking for some easy ways to get fit without going to a gym or some way to
interact with your treadmill that isn't just running your butt off and
killing yourself.
Hope this helps anyone who is interested.
LM
