I do CrossFit and am in my 7th year. When I was diagnosed with PMR 1 year ago doc emphasized do not quit CrossFit. With the exception of bikes and rowers, your body is the machine. We do resistance training, strength training using weights, and stretching. I go twice a week for 1 hour and I am 82.

You are awesome!
My rheumatologist said early on that I was doing as well as I have been due to exercising. I competed in Crossfit and Olympic lifting but was having so much hand and hip pain that I pulled back. But I know that movement is good medicine 👊💪

@wilmingtonemperor I'm a mere child of 80. You have now become my exercise pace car. I hope by the end of the year I can be in a cross fit program as well. I'll check in with you thru out the year and report progress. Thanks for the encouragement. Cross Fit for PMRers - here we come.
