Walk
Just had an infusion, and after being in that chair for so long, it felt so good to get up and walk afterward!

Looking for low-impact exercise ideas that don't leave me wiped out for the rest of the day. What's working for people right now?
Does anyone do somatic stretching or nervous-system-focused stretching versus regular static stretching? I keep seeing it mentioned as gentler and more attuned to how MS affects the body, but haven't tried it myself.
Haven't tried it myself, but I've been curious tooβthe idea of moving slow and following what your body's telling you instead of forcing a stretch just makes sense with MS, especially if spasticity's an issue.
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.
Try water-based movementΒ - anything in the pool or any type of pool aerobics. The water supports your body weight so joints and muscles work less.
