Thanks for sharing this. I am just beginning this PMR journey and this is one of my many challenges to work out. I am (was) an avid golfer …walking our very hilly course at a fast pace. Since developing PMR I have been very limited re playing golf and have to ride the cart. I have been wondering about how much walking i should be doing to replace this. I will see how I do with half hour a day.

With PMR it's a balancing act. Movement is helpful for pain and stiffness but too much exercise can exacerbate the symptoms. When my PMR was active I was able to stroll about thirty minutes most days, but I had to avoid strenuous activity. Best of luck with your journey and I hope you are able to achieve remission soon.
