This week proved to be a pretty good week compared to prior weeks, so I decided to start back on my elliptical machine. I try to do 30 minutes every day (in the morning before work so it is done!), and with all the butt pain I had gone off the wagon for several weeks.
I know I may be stating the obvious, but my bowels are better when I exercise (also drinking plenty of water of course). I noticed when I was not exercising, but still drinking plenty of water and getting fiber, my bowels were a little less regular (occasionally I would go a day without a bowel). When I exercise, it just makes things more consistent. Not to mention mentally, I always feel better and have more energy on the days I get up and exercise before work.
The elliptical machine, your legs are apart far enough that nothing is rubbing, so I think it is probably a good machine to use for the fissure problems. It just feels good to start the routine again.................
