During my surgery recovery I was told to walk as often as I could. Pikmin bloom is genuinely the only thing that got me out of the house.

A couple years later I was back to my “exercise 0 times a year” lifestyle. But Pokémon go changed that.

I walk 3-5 times a week on a good week. 0-1 on a bad one. But that’s not a big deal because it’s not like there’s an evil curse that says I must exercise consistently to be worthy of health.

I drive about 4 minutes to an area with a lot of poke stops and do a 20 minute walk. Sometimes only 10 if I’m tired.

I’m chronically ill and every joint in my body hurts but I know that having a bit of muscle will save me some pain in the long run. I’m only 25 after all.

I’ve been playing Pokémon go for months now and my health is all the better for it. If you haven’t played since the summer of Pokémon go I recommend trying it again. There’s a big event this weekend too!

It’s also become an activity I do with my partner. We have Pokémon go dates where we walk and chat and catch pokes.

If Pokémon go feels too high pressure, I recommend Pikmin bloom. It’s a lot simpler.

If it doesn’t work no big deal. But I recommend anyone who wants to exercise more to try some 10 minute Pokémon walks. See what it does for you!

Did some yoga today. I got 7 minutes in which was not bad considering how out of shape I am. Plus it helped calm my brain down.

I used a video on Amazon Prime Video called Inflexible Yoga. Super beginners friendly.

I've gotten lazy with my exercise routine during the pandemic and I want to start it up again.

Exercise helps my joints and my back feel better so I really need to start up again.

I've started up an exercise routine to help with my joint stiffness and pain. I've done 4 days straight with my exercises.

I'm doing core exercises, arm exercises, and leg exercises.

Core exercises are more for my back. But everything else is for my joints.

I'm really proud of myself. I used to hate any exercise that wasn't walking. But now that I'm stuck at home I can't do the walking. So I'm doing anaerobic exercise instead.

I'm not exercising to lose weight. I just don't want to hurt as much.

With all my health problems it’s hard for me to exercise. BUT I’ve started doing arm circles at work between calls. So far I’ve done 400 today. 200 each way backwards and forwards. I bought 2 pound weights to start bringing when I get more used to it. It’s not much but it’ll tone my arms!

When I can I’m gonna buy restaunce bands to to try to regain some flexibility. Cause I only seem to be flexible during sex and that’s annoying.

Interval Running!

One of things I had to give up when diagnosed was running. I ran competitively in high school and just for fun in college. My knees, hips and thighs were really impacted by the high intensity of my workouts. So this week I've adopted interval running and let me tell you this is the best moderation I've tried so far. My method: Scale 1 (slow pace, think cool down) 5 (moderate pace, think arms pumping but not yet running) 10 (your fastest, this can be a sprint or a jog. Go at your own speed) WARM UP at a 1 for 5 mins WALK one telephone pole (TP) length at a 5 RUN two TP's at a 10 And I do this for 20 mins or until I reach 1 1/2 miles. The rest time between running really allowed my body to recover and work a little harder to keep my heart up so that ultimately helping me manage POTS as well. If you do this let me know if it helps you! Remember go at your own pace and moderate it as needed. My body is not your body & vice versa. I hope it works for some if you :)

Guyssss I took my first kickboxing class tonight and it was everything and more. The instructor was so nice and gave me good modifications. I was worried about my shoulder with the punching but they didn't hurt or get messed up once. My lower back is the only thing that's tightening up real bad. But other than that it was an amazing experience and I can't wait to do it again!

If you have a few minuets to move your upper body today, here are some exercises you can do to loosen up and tone those back/arm/shoulder muscles!
