What exercises are good for nursing?

Obviously exercise, strength training for the back is good. Is physical flexibility important? How about physical endurance? Arm strength?

Any favorite exercise that has helped you?

A HS is just a deep squat. Start with arms at about 90 degrees in front. Swing your arms down and slightly back as you go down, and back up as you return to the original position.

A DC is simply bringing the weight to your shoulders (palms face forward), same as you'd do with a barbell.

I'd probably fall over trying to do it, but thanks.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Hey, I haven't tried this yet either... so maybe there'll be two of us presenting in the ED with the same issues.
