Hi all,
I've been stuck in a Fibromyalgia flare up for a little over 5 months at this point. I used to work out quite a bit beforehand with a mixture of martial arts, yoga, cardio and strengthening exercising. I'm starting to feel like I have more energy and strength than I did about a month ago but still experience pain and stiffness throughout my body, especially in my neck, shoulder, upper back and hips and am not sure I'm up to my previous work out regimen. Even though I feel stronger than last month I know I'm a lot weaker than I was 5 months ago and I'd like to rebuild at least some of my strength. I do weekly physical therapy sessions with take home exercises but they're mostly stretches and not as much of a work out that I'm seeking.
Are there strengthening and/or cardio exercise routines that you all have found manageable with your Fibromyalgia, even during flare ups? Has anyone joined a particular work out group or subscribed to a YouTube channel or online program with exercises they've found helpful?
Thank you!
