6 Gentle Workouts for Fibromyalgia Patients

Weights

Intensive weightlifting and gym sessions may be very far-fetched considering the physicality and toll that the pains and fatigue of fibromyalgia may leave on your body. Light and small weight lifting on the other hand may be quite possible depending on the intensity of the symptoms of your fibromyalgia. A few reps of light weight not spanning more than 3-5 pounds can promote muscle strength, joint rotation and flexibility. Small ankle weights can also be used when you go for early morning jogs or walks to help with strengthening the gliding and sliding joints.
