Best exercises for Fibromyalgia 

I’ll be 70 in a few days and I have lived with fibromyalgia since my 20’s. Over the years I’ve learned that exercise is one of the best things I can do to manage my symptoms. I think it’s important to say that slow, small increases in effort help to avoid flares while increasing fitness levels. I try to get at least 1 hour of exercise a day. Occasionally I skip exercise if I’m having a really bad day but I find that I can usually at least walk on most of those days and get some symptoms relief. Thank you for your videos. Most people can’t understand what its like to live with fibromyalgia and it’s refreshing to hear someone articulate the struggles of the condition.

Swimming helping me, stretching in water is great too.

I was diagnosed with fibro when I was 16, I am 40 now. My health has gone down hill. So bad that I am on disability benefits now. I can walk for 30 min without rest, without it backfiring. I do that twice a day. I can hardly ride a bike, because the muscle in my buttocks start to complain after only 5 min. I go to the gym under supervision of my physical therapist. Really light weights, but more repetitions.

Stretching helps me. I know that's not "exercise". I've also thought about trying tai chi. 🤔 Something gentle but keeping my body and fascia moving.

Getting back to the gym im sore as. But im gonna take it slow . Im going to try and swim to just to see.

Have you considered the Carnivore Diet. It's an elimination diet. Meat is the least inflammatory food you can have. I have Fibromyalgia and since starting it my symptoms have improved greatly. Please look in to it.
