6 Gentle Workouts for Fibromyalgia Patients

Walking is one of the best and most basic ways to keep your body parts and joints moving. The fact that it can also be done practically anywhere is a plus. Walking helps locomotion and ensures that the affected joints and points of intense pain is in constant motion. A simple walk very early can be highly beneficial and is also instrumental in enhancing blood circulation and supply of oxygen to the muscles and joints. There is no standard distance that one should walk, but taking a couple thousand steps daily helps to keep you far from being sedentary. Walking can also boost your energy and mood, both of which are largely affected by fibromyalgia. If pain is intense, having a family or friend accompany you on your walk is strongly advised. Early walks are also advised to avoid bad weather and sun fatigue.
