How do you balance exercise and MG?
We all know exercise is a key part of being/getting healthy, but overexertion is also a key part to triggering MG symptoms. Is there any tips or hacks to balancing exercise while trying not to trigger any symptoms?
I find small sessions are the way tô go, rather than going all out and paying for it later.
I’ve been going to a personal trainer since about early 2019, just months before my MG manifested itself even though early signs were there. My trainer puts me through a 70 minute routine, including a 10 minute stationary bike ride. Routine consists of 12 individual exercises repeated 1-15 repetitions each twice a week. I’ve learned to listen to my body & know my limits of what I can lift or move through my routine slowly if it becomes a problem. In addition I go to physical therapy to assist with balance since I’m dealing with neuropathy too!
I try to work and just get so tired. exercise and feel so tired. Been trying to strengthen my neck muscles and it feels weird and tired.
3 1/2 years and I used to be a dancer. All I can think of is just to keep trying. Good luck to you good luck to me and here's to stronger muscles, stronger happier muscles soon!
I weight train 2 days a week with a personal trainer. Like many others have said, you have to listen to your body. There have been more than a few times I've told my trainer it needed to be a "light" day because of how I felt. Fewer exercises and lighter weight being pushed.
