My own personal experience with PMR and exercise has been that just getting up and moving around doing stretches, walking and daily chores worked well for me when my PMR was active. I also did some light cardio and strength type exercises on a recumbent cross trainer bike I have at home. The main thing I learned was not to overdo the exercises or I paid for it the next morning with some extra aches and pain.

What kind of exercises do you like to do?

When I was in my 40s and 50s, I would do 20 mile runs and 100 mile cycling events now I can’t walk to the car without being short of breath. I’m wondering if anybody else has a problem with the shortness of breath
