Hallo everyone, I have RA and Fibromyalgia and Hashimoto's. I try to exercise three times a week. Either a 20min walk on the treadmill or a pilates for RA and Fibromyalgia. My husband says it's not enough. According to his information, it should be everyday and longer
I walk around during the day with a step counter te receive rewards from my medical aid. I do not reach my goal every day, but I am happy with what I achieve. I am on permanent disability due to the advanced RA. I definitely… read more
I walk several miles 2 x a week at the track when we are at practice. I go to the gym at least 2x a week to use equipment I don't have at home. I use light to medium weights for strength training and also for bones. I also use resistance bands. I am moving every day. I would add some weight training, you can use 2 lbs and you just do more sets of 10. It gives you enough resistance to work your muscles and bones. The same with the resistance bands. They work your muscles too.
I hope this helps
The recommended amount of exercise for people with RA is 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week. This can be broken down into 30-minute sessions 5 times per week, but importantly, you can start with more modest goals and gradually build up to that amount.

Good morning Lanie. He means well. I agree with others who have said try to keep active as you can. Walk a little more. You can walk each day. I do light exercise and stretching twice a day and am still able to work full time. I think exercise and prayer are what keep me going each day. Hope you have a good day
Hugs and blessings to you ❤️
Hi Lanie
My advice to you is, to do as much as you can without hurting yourself. If you are walking that's a good start, try every week to go further if you can, The same goes here don't hurt yourself or overdo it. Take water with you, and an energy bar or trail mix.
Rest as much as possible, take a nap, and put your feet up. I do suffer from RA, OA, Fibro, Degenerate
Spine Diseases, Ostio Prosuse, Diabetes. I walk down the block and it takes me 45 minutes if I get tired I sit on my walker and have a drink then in 5 minutes I push on. I have overthought I need to do more, I paid for it. I could not get out of bed and could barely move ouch😳😰. I have a problem of falling, a lot. I'm so glad she has a thick carpet in her and my room. I was also permanently disabled in 2016. Stop working omg it was hard. I love working but I was doing more damage to myself. Asthma was worse in California I have been in the ICU 2x never again. So I moved to New Mexico and it was great for my asthma but not too good for my body. If I can't move very well I go to my garden or paint my eggshells and terracotta pots. Pain has put me in depression and I have a counselor and syciatress I'm not ashamed to say it because I have been in a bad, bad situation in California. I developed PTSD, and doing things I love to do, even doing laundry and cleaning the house is very therapeutic to me.....I know am I nut maybe but it helps. It takes me a whole week to clean but that's ok. Like I said go at your own pace it's not a race. Don't listen to anyone saying you have to do more, you're the one hurting and you know how far to go without pushing yourself. Don't feel guilty it's ok.
GOD BLESS YOU
