dont exercise here. too much pain.. lower back cant take it.. sigh.. hard to beleive I was a athlete most of my life. when we have to shop I try to walk around more and look at things and not just run in and run out. Some say exercise is good for fibro.. cant say it worked for me, made it worse. guess you have to do your best.. :)

I know that regular gentle exercise definitely helps with pain. But we all know maintaining that exercise in a flare is exceedingly difficult. It is summer here at the moment to my pain is under control for now, so I exercise a few times a week. I ride a bike and aquajog. Hopefully this will put me in a good place when winter kicks in and the real flares begin. It is really hard, but I do believe it helps.

I have taken deep water aerobics @ the YMCA and loved it. Most YMCA's will let you pay just for the activity without buying a membership. I don't go there anymore because I used to go with my sisters and it was fun, but they don't go anymore.

My feet hurt too much to do alot of walking. A recumbent (sp?)bike is great, I do have one of these.

I work full-time and I'm glad I do because somedays I would probably just veg. On the weekends, when I think I deserve to veg.........I get very stiff and sore. I'm better off doing things around the house to stay limber.

Really?? I didn't know that!! I will have to check that out! Thanks!
