I used to have occasional bouts of achilles trouble Annie until I found the exercise you mentioned. I use a stepladder to perch on just balancing on my toes and hanging my foot into thin air. I do seventy lifts with straight legs, and ninety lifts with knees bent. It took a while to build up to that amount and now I do them almost every evening. Been doing them for years......And the only time my achilles started to ache was when I started to do toe touches to improve my flexibility.

Yes I can do that Pauline but I can no longer touch my nose with my big toe...

Wonder if anybody on here can?

I wonder how many here take it as a supplement.

High blood pressure: Cod liver oil can lower blood pressure and might cause blood pressure to go too low if used along with medications for high blood pressure. Be careful when using cod liver oil if you are taking high blood pressure drugs.

Yes I can do that now but only because I've been doing yoga since last week. I was shocked though at how inflexible lockdown was making me in the last few months. There was a point when every move that I used to take for granted was a struggle. resuming Cod liver oil and vit D has helped I think. But it is unbelievable how quickly your body can change when you don't do as much. I suppose it's a bit like people in a coma who lie in bed all the time. The less you move the more it hurts to move. What's bizarre is that an old achilles tendon injury has flared up - maybe wearing slippers and flats caused that. Sometimes I think i've had a version of covid and these are the after effects....
Even gentle yoga can work wonders.

Is this a Youtube Yoga course? Can you recommend and post the link please?

I might try them again OGF - thanks for reminding me about them. What do you think about while you are doing the exercises? For some reason for me it's up there with watching paint dry or a kettle boil.

I mostly use Yoga with Adriene. She has a great variety of classes and has millions of subscribers. It can be quite demanding. When I had a (non yoga-related) frozen shoulder injury and had to stop yoga for about a year I used savannah on YOGATX as she was very gentle but effective. She doesn't seem to do so many videos though and doesn't have her own channel.
