HEALTH AND FITNESS: EXERCISE AND FIBROMYALGIA
January 24th, 2008
Exercise and fibromyalgia fitness routines can enhance muscle tone, strengthen ligaments and tendons, improve flexibility, and increase levels of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. In exercise and fibromyalgia health plans, regular low-impact aerobic exercise such as walking can increase the pain threshold of fibromyalgia. Other exercise and fibromyalgia plans may include effective exercises for fibromyalgia, including swimming and biking.
Walking as part of a component of exercise and fibromyalgia, can begin with five minutes of walking per day and eventually reach a set goal of 60 minutes of walking daily. Exercise and fibromyalgia workout routines can reduce the symptoms of fibromyalgia while causing the body to produce more adrenalin and serotonin, which are pain inhibitors. Exercise and fibromyalgia is one of the leading treatments for the condition of fibromyalgia and can aid in recovery while increasing energy levels.
To increase flexibility and feel more healthy and fit, exercise and fibromyalgia routines may include yoga and Pilates. Yoga and Pilates can decrease pain, improve circulation and improve physical function in exercise and fibromyalgia health routines. In exercise and fibromyalgia workouts, walking, strength training movements and stretching can effectively improve endurance levels and fibromyalgia symptoms in individuals who are being treated with medication.
In exercise and fibromyalgia health routines, exercise can reduce much of the general pain fibromyalgia causes. Fibromyalgia muscle and joint pain, headaches and stiffness can also be reduced with exercise and fibromyalgia workouts. Exercise and fibromyalgia routines can also increase mobility and aid in weight control. A regular exercise and fibromyalgia workout should include stretching, strength or resistance training and cardiovascular low-impact aerobic activities.
Exercise and fibromyalgia fitness plans can strengthen connective tissue (ligaments and tendons) and increase levels of T-cells from the thymus, producing a greater number of immune system boosting cells to the body.
