Exercise is a great way to beat stress,
build stamina and help overall health, and it can be as simple as
doing some stretches in front of the TV. Make sure you find the
exercise level and type that are right for you.
Don’t know what to do? Surf through the
types of exercise section. Whichever exercise you choose,
make sure to monitor how you feel before and after each workout and
note any changes in your body after several workouts. Record your
activity, duration of exercise, symptom level and how you feel
before and after you exercise.
A good exercise goal is to find a
heart-pumping exercise you can do for 30 minutes or more three to
four times a week. If you know how you feel in different stages of
health, you can find an exercise that fits each level, staying
as active as possible. Don't forget to include this information in your stoplight
plan.
