I want to start walking again but I am afraid of getting too hot and causing a relapse.

Walking is not an option for me as I live in the country and don't know many of my neighbors so it would mean walking alone. Should I fall or become tired I am ALONE. So I do pilates on a machine at home and find the stretching helpful with balance, posture, walking, etc. I think the walking article is fine but we have MS and many of us can't walk long distances for long periods - all part of the disease!

I ride a stationary bike, preferrably during the morning hours. I was told 25 yrs. ago excercise would not make a difference---but it makes a whole lot of dffierence! Although walking is still tough excercise helps me to keep what I haven't lost yet.

Have been in wheelchair for approx, 6 years. Take p.t.for a while then able to use walker. Then have no help with p.t., wind up back in wheelchair. Very depressing.

I recently got back in the saddle. It is great exercise.

My husband had 1st attack in Oct. 2005 and has been in a wheelchair every since. He uses the Reck Motomed for an hour a day. Helps in more ways than one.

Stretching at least for 5 minutes minutes every hour help me get through my workday. I pay special attention to stretches that help to increase my energy and concentrate on a lot of deep breathing
