So exhausted after a little exertion makes me not want to do anything

I finally had to make a decision yesterday. I have been trying hard everyday no matter what to either do video-guided exercises at home for 20 minutes or walk 2 miles. On most days that exertion causes me a painful and irresistible exhaustion that puts me horizontal for much of the remaining hours of the day. I just can't fight it anymore, I am going to reduce the exercise and see if life is less depressing and discouraging. Many people say exercise gives them energy - I've tried for so long and I am not one of that group.

There comes a time when we can't, for various reasons, do a detailed long exercise program.
At 83, with not having done much exercising throughout my life, I am now doing some due to my BE and mucus.
I limit mine and do just enough movements while sitting up in the bed. Movements meaning the legs and arms in a easy motion especially to keep the joints in better condition. Of course there are other benefits to easy movement and motion. I do walk for fifteen minutes each morning and some mornings, for various reasons, I just walk. I walk in the house...when I feel it is best to avoid the outside temperatures. How life changes, for most of us, as we journey through life.
