How do you balance exercise and MG?

I am 71 and have only been dealing with MG for a little over a year. I have always been very active, gym 5 days a week and cardio at home on my off days. I have slowly had to dial it back and make changes in frequency in order to have some recovery time. I recently changed to an every other day gym routine and rather than hike up the steep trail I now take the flat one but the same distance, running is now out of the question. I will continue to adjust but hopefully be able to improve rather than regress, but it is what it is.

At 76 and with a bad back, I had given up on exercise. But I had six face cords of firewood brought in that had to be hauled to the wood sheds. I decided I would do it myself, one ATV load a day. Bending, lifting, throwing, stacking. After five days, I felt great. Way more strength and energy. That's how I learned even a little exercise pays big dividends. And exercise is more fun when you are accomplishing something.

Zack's comment on dealing with MG, and daily travails!

hi panel.
As a senior who was diagnosed with MG at age 80, I feel that I am a lucky person as I lived an active life for many years, but I do miss my daily walk of two hours each day, as now a ten-minute walk will simply cause total body shutdown
Any form of exercise is out for me.
When food shopping, I usually try to cut my shopping trips into short missions and get home as soon as I am able. I use a cane full time, and a walker is in my near future. My symptoms seem to be subsiding, but my Doctor says that they are fooling me, and I continue to take my meds as prescribed. This MG plays with your body, and each day is a gift, but can be a challenge........ Cheers to all
