i know how hard it is to exercise but there are other ways to increase physical activity and benefit fm. instead of feeling pressure to schedule exercise time try to focus on increasing all other non-exercise activities. daily activities leisure activities and even work activity can be "increased. " if stretching doesn't bother you then you get to call this physical activity and you can stretch as often as you want. instead of sitting down when talking on the phone try slowly pacing back and forth. this is increased physical activity. sometimes park a little bit farther away and walk a little bit more. this counts too. all this extra activity adds up and becomes "therapeutic" for your fm goal of reactivating yourself. if you eventually can add "exercise" to your day. then all the better! but you can still be more active without that darn "exercise. "
