It is normal to see people with fibromyalgia who don't exercise. There are days when fibromyalgia sufferers have a hard time just getting out of bed. Daily tasks quickly drain your energy. It is said that Fibromyalgia feels like you have the flu, with symptoms such as painful muscle aches, extreme fatigue, and a general feeling of malaise. Just thinking about exercise is tiring.



You or someone you love maybe suffering from fibromyalgia, and dealing with muscle spasms and stiff, constantly aching muscles all over your body.

Either way, you probably already know that fibromyalgia is a syndrome that even doctors are uncertain as to the cause. In addition to exhaustion and pain, fibromyalgia victims often have insomnia, difficulty concentrating and bouts of depression.

Many fibromyalgia sufferers think that exercise will put even more stress on already painful muscles and joints. They're so drained of energy they can't imagine getting through any form of exercise, so they don't even attempt it. The truth is, if you have fibromyalgia, exercise can help.

For those who haven't been exercising, they are advised to start slowly, and this advice is good for fibromyalgia sufferers as well. You should not do more than you can do. If you can only walk for three minutes initially, then stick to that. Slowly add one to two minutes every few days, and try to do his three or four times a week. The key is to be consistent.

As you begin to feel better, and studies have shown that exercise will help you feel better, you can try other forms of exercise that are specifically recommended for fibromyalgia patients. Some of these exercises include walking, biking, swimming, or water aerobics. These workouts help to improve your stamina and strength.

If you continue to exercise, you will improve your endurance and strength. Gradually, you will be able to exert a little more in your workouts. Without extending the length of time, you can begin to walk a little faster or swim a little harder. As you do this, you will start to look better, maybe even before you feel better, and this is a good motivation for you to keep going.
