Exercise is super important, but most of us with chronic illness don't partake (at least not to the extent we should).
I have recently gotten in the habit of exercising a few times a week, and honestly: it's a game changer.
I want to start off with some important caveats:
Regardless of what activity you choose, tackle these questions to be mentally, emotionally, and physically ready to take on this change.
WHO: Do you want to work out alone? Do you want an accountability partner?
WHAT: Which activities/exercises are you actually going to do?
WHEN: Think about timing in the day, day(s) of the week, etc.
WHERE: Most importantly, you need a place where you can focus on your exercise.
WHY: This is the most important part of your exercise preparation. Going to the gym with the wrong motivation or vague goals won't be as successful.
HOW: Prepare for potential problems before they occur.
Hopefully, these tips inspire you to start some kind of physical activity!
