Yoga offers slow body movement and gentle stretching and the
positions can be modified and adjusted to individual fitness levels.
Starting with just 15 minutes a day, or every other day, depending on how sore
the muscles are afterwards is a good way to begin.
Water Aerobics allows the body to move slowly under water and
build muscle from the resistance. The exercises are effective and gentle on sensitive
joints. However, one with Fibromyalgia needs to take it easy when beginning
this exercise routine and make sure that they do not overexert the body
movements since most of these classes last around 30- 45 minutes.
Bodybuilding may
seem as a no, no for those who suffer from chronic muscle pain, however the
truth is that the benefits of weight lifting are enormous. When engaging in
this form of exercise, start with 1lb weights and only work out for about 10-15
minutes two to three times per week. Depending on one's fitness level,
work up to 15 minutes using 5lb weights and slowly increase each week.
With Fibromyalgia it is important to increase protein intake to
help build up the muscle being torn down. Make sure you wear comfortable workoutclothing and are fully hydrated. Also, do not push yourself. Listen to your
body before you listen to anyone else, or you could worsen your symptoms.
As with any exercise routine, consult your doctor before you
begin.Please visit to know more information
