Re: Exercise

people don't seem to agree on this point but i believe exercise to be very beneficial if for no other reason it increases your energy levels. moderate exercise it best. i rise a stationary bike 3-5 times per week for 20-30 minutes. i really try to pay attention to my body and if i'm too tired or tired in the middle of exercising, i take a break.

Re: Exercise

Hi,
My daughter has found that gentle stretching and exercises, such as Pilates, helps tone and strengthen her muscles. And like Sunshine said, it helps her energy level. But she can't overdo it. She must know her limits and not cross the line, or she ends up fatigued and weak.

It's important to not overheat while exercising, or that could set you back, too.

Honestly, the stretching and exercises have helped my daughter a lot - both physically and mentally. She used to feel robbed of doing ordinary things such as exercising. But now she has found out that she can do things if she modifies them and watches her limits.

Best wishes,
Julie

Re: Exercise

Exercise won't "fix" anything, but it does help your blood circulate, give you energy and keep your functioning muscles from becoming weak. But as the two previous posters said, it's equally important not to overdo it and injure yourself.

Re: Exercise

I haven't been diagnosised with MS, but I have a question about exercise. I exercise regularly. Twice a day. When I do strengthening exercises I'm sore for a very long time. Others that exercise with me doesn't get so sore. I know we are all made different, but do any of you that exercise seem to be sorer than those who don't have MS?
