I have sent a letter off to Dan and posted it on my clubs website, then Dr. Steve in the club posted a little note with it. I was wonder if anyone has any other knowledge about this to pass on. I really do not want to go away and not be able to work out at all. I am happy to switch my pilates to the morning and not jog at all, but I am so longing to jog at least once along the beach.
Here is the post and my email I rec, from DAN .
It kind of makes me wonder if this person knows what Pilates is. As
DocVikingo on scubaboard has said on numerous occasions it is the
elevated heart rate that makes exercising after diving dangerous. As
a long time Pilates advocate I cannot imagine it being dangerous to
do after diving as the heart rate is only slightly elevated, in fact
the gentle stretching should aid in the deco process. But I could be
wrong...try posting this on scubaboard and see the response.
