Yoga, even grandma style yoga, irritates my back and knees. I use body rolling pin sometimes when my muscles are extremely tight. For some reason, cycling - not hard core, agrees with my body.

Swimming is the best for me..I feel almost normal in the water but I use some type of floatation device now because my legs feel weak or might spasm. I also walk my dog short distances, light housekeeping. I tried yoga once and was in terrible pain for a week afterward. I am going to try it again but hopefully with someone that understands fibro as it was a really long 1.5 hours! If that doesn't work I am thinking of looking into videos for stretching and gentle yoga.

Strengthening excerises and muscle relaxation. The chores I do at home is exercising too. When exercising the moment you feel pain, stop. If you over do anything you could pay the price for days. 15 to 20 mins a day. I will explain more in depth tomorrow. Be gentle to yourself.

I like to do walking and some yoga and stretching
I found an app that allows be to do a 5min exercise routine ( you can increase time) it tends to not overwhelm me
On a great day I do two 30 min walks and two 5 min yoga/stretching routine one in AM and one in PM
I think anything low impact and start slow

I saw a physiotherapist recently and currently working on a realistic plan. I started off with 8mins walking every other day, then currently at 15mins.

I also do chair movement excercise and recently started Fibro yoga excercises, again only 10-15mins.

I am meant to gradually increasing each week.

I am also trying to find hydrotherapy excercises. To be quiet honest when it comes to excercises it also depends on how I am feeling on the day, it has not been consistent. If I am able to do chores then I consider that as excercise on a not so great day.

I hope you do find the most suitable excercise for you.
