Just did some research on David Lyons for the Community Shop page - what a beast! Guy gets diagnosed with MS at 47, doctors tell him he'll likely be wheelchair bound and never train again... and he goes back to bodybuilding and wins "Most Inspirational" at his first competition post-diagnosis. Then builds the whole MS Fitness Challenge.
Definitely feeling some extra motivation for my own workout today lol.
Anyone found a workout routine that actually works with MS fatigue? I've had good luck with shorter, lower-intensity sessions in the morning before my energy dips - swimming has been a game changer since it's easy on the joints and doesn't overheat me. Curious what's working for others!
I find that walking and cycling has worked for me - as well as some resistance training with weights - and I always stretch before and after. Making sure to stay hydrated too, and not pushing myself too hard. Usually the day after I do a workout I feel more energy and it motivates me to keep going!
Tried a chair yoga class for the first time this week. Way more challenging than I expected, in a good way!
100%. I know exercise helps me long-term - better mood, better sleep, even helps some of the fatigue - but in the moment it's so easy to talk myself out of it, especially on days I'm already running low on energy.
