Just exercised for a whole hour, I feel so much more energized than this morning 💕

weight loss culture has spiraled so out of control that when we say 'exercise is healthy and good for you' the first thing that comes to mind is 'because it makes you lose weight'. thats not even CLOSE to the top priority and should never have been in the first place. for folks that can, they should work out because of the VARIOUS OTHER health benefits, including assisting in mental illness recovery. it improves your blood flow. it regulates your emotions and stimulates dopamine production. it encourages muscle development. makes you more energetic and (if done right) flexible and mobile. improves your sleep. hell it can even make food more enjoyable! i'm serious!

so when people say 'fat people are unhealthy' they're completely overlooking the fact that A) Body Types Exist and B) having extra 'fluff' does not a health condition make. inactivity does. even something as simple as a quick yoga session or a swim or brisk walk can DRASTICALLY improve your health in multiple different ways. while fat.

when we say 'work out' it's not supposed to mean 'you're fat' it's supposed to mean 'you could benefit from some physical activity'. bar none. period. full stop.

Advice needed- exercise and disability.

My cardiologist told me to exercise. I'm gonna do it, I'll be good and do everything my doctors say I should. For the millionth time.

But when I asked what type of exercise I should do, as it's really hard for me, he told me to "walk a mile and see how you feel, push yourself. That's what exercise is."

This was not helpful at all. I know what exercise is. I wanted to know specific low stress exercises. I got extremely sick after a leisurely art gallery stroll- as in struggling to walk from my car to apartment then heaving in the bathroom sick.

I also have no idea how to fit this into my work-home life. I am so exhausted from work, and so exhausted from chores, and errands, that I feel there's no room for anything else.

Does anyone have good exercises for those with extreme pain, fatigue, near constant presyncope and fibromyalgia? Literally all the exercises I do just make me feel worse and keel over for days from exhaustion and pain. If you are chronically ill or disabled and exercise, how do you fit it into your schedule, especially if you have a physical job?
