What are the benefits of exercising if I have fibromyalgia?

If you have fibromyalgia, exercising can be an important tool in reducing the pain messages coming from your muscles and joints. A review by researchers from the University of Saskatchewan of nearly 50 exercise programs resulted in specific recommendations for people with fibromyalgia that include combining aerobic exercise and strength training. Alternating a day of aerobic exercise with a day of strength training can be a good way to achieve these exercise targets.

Exercise reduces pain, increases physical fitness and overall wellbeing, and improves mood. Although it may not improve poor sleep, researchers from the University of North Carolina showed that aerobic exercise also reduces fatigue and "fibro fog." In this study, 16 women with fibromyalgia were randomly assigned to either an 18-week exercise program or a control group that was monitored but not treated.

The exercise included walking, light resistance exercise, and stretching for 60 minutes, 3 days per week. Women assigned to the exercise group completed about two-thirds of the exercise sessions. Following treatment, they felt mentally sharper and performed better on memory recall tests.

The benefits of exercise usually don't happen right away. In many cases, exercise needs to be performed consistently for 4-6 weeks before you begin to experience benefits. You will need to continue your exercise program to experience long-lasting benefits.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
