Good info. It is so important for all of us that have fibro to keep moving. Stretching is so important. Never overdo. Any video that gives us helpful hints is a good video, thank you for posting.

I could do all of this if I did not have to save every ounce of energy to work. Who pays your bills? My insurance is horrible so I can't afford the medical suggestions and I work full time.

I do stretching and of course some walking as I work and care for myself.

If someone would like to support me and provide better health insurance perhaps I could devote myself to all of this instead of just trying to survive.

Local privately run Humane Societies can be great....many are NO KILL and run by positive, compassionate women and are not depressing places. You'll be appreciated for who you are and what you CAN do.

Go walk a dog or just go sit and pet one that has just been given up for adoption.

You'll be doing a good deed and it will give you motivation to get up and get moving. I'm going now!

Volunteer at your local Humane Society. Often times, these are surprisingly upbeat, privately run, NO KILL facilities, run by compassionate women.

It's great motivation to get up and moving to share what you CAN do with a poor homeless animal.

Okay...I'm a "not so fit" Fibromite. I cannot walk more than 50-75ft without assistance. I have degeneration of L4 & L5 which cause my back to start to spasm when standing or walking. My exercise is to walk as far as I can, twice a day. I use weights to lift for my arms and I do gentle stretching exercises that my physical therapists taught me. Massage would help but my insurance will not cover it.
