I am down to 1 mg after about ten months of prednisone. I am back to doing 40 minute sessions on the elliptical runner at a heart rate of about 130. I can dance for maybe an hour after that but then I just need to lay down and recover. All the things like stretching and isometrics hot bath cold swim help with muscles. Just stay as active as you can and rest when you need to. Fluids and electrolytes make a difference too.

A big piece for me is I just feel good after I get a good workout with my heart rate elevated for forty minutes. It's like taking drugs which is essentially what happens in your body, natural runners high.
