Healthy diet and exercise is often recommended for a sound body and mind. But what about those suffering from fibromyalgia? Is exercise good or would it increase my pain further? And even if it is good, how in the world am I suppose to exercise when I can hardly get out of my bed? And what kind of exercises should I try?
Exercise is definitely good for fibromyalgia. The problem however is how and what to exercise when your entire body is raking with fibromyalgia pain. Depending on your condition, the following exercises are highly recommended for fibromyalgia.
1. Walking: The simplest and easiest form of exercise is walking. Walking is the best way to take the first step towards exercise. Now you can start off with as little as ten minutes at first and then slowly increase your time to as high as one hour.
2. Jogging: Now if your condition permits you to walk, try jogging. Why? Because it is a good cardio workout and helps burn your calories faster.
3. Biking: This may sound as a ridiculous suggestion to fibromyalgia sufferers but on those “good days” you can certainly try biking. Not only will you enjoy the fresh air but you will also have an opportunity to put your muscles to work.
4. Swimming: One of the best exercises you should try is swimming. Swimming is safe and effective and even when you are just staying afloat, the water in the pool offers resistance for the muscles.
5. Yoga: Yoga has been practiced for thousands of years and is widely embraced even in the West. With some simple Yoga exercises and asanas, you can give your body every chance to alleviate itself from fibro pain.
Do you feel frustrated, angry and helpless about your fibromyalgia condition? Do you feel as if no one understands the agony you are going through? Do you beat yourself up for being a mute spectator to fibromyalgia pain?
Click http://www.rapidfibromyalgiarelief.com to get your BOOK “Rapid Fibromyalgia Relief”. This book walks through a COMPREHENSIVE list of treatments both traditional and alternative to help REDUCE FIBROMYALGIA AGONY AND PAIN.
Remember, you don’t have to be a slave to fibromyalgia and you can start getting your life back. Wishing you the best of health!
