Learn how to exercise without worsening your symptoms.

Learn how to exercise without worsening your symptoms.

Exercising in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a delicate matter. If you push yourself beyond your boundaries or engage in the wrong types of exercise, it can make you worse. If you do it right, however, it becomes an essential piece of you reaching your optimum health.

“It is very important for my patients to know how to approach exercise in a safe way…. if they don’t exercise, they will only get worse.” ~ Dr. Nancy Klimas

Recently I visited the IACFS/ME, the world’s largest conference on ME/CFS, and attended a workshop by exercise physiologist Stacy Stevens, MA, who was the first researcher to study a way of exercising that is safe and effective for people with ME/CFS. Stevens has dedicated the last twenty-five years of her career to exploring what causes post-exertional malaise in ME/CFS and what type of safe exercises people with the condition can engage in to avoid worsened symptoms after exercise. Inspired by what I learned in her workshop, I completely updated my free e-course lesson on How to Benefit from Exercise When You Have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS).

  1. Peggy Wettig says:

    Do you have any experience with people with CFS taking ATP fuel by Resesarched Nutritionals? Is it truly beneficial beyond a placebo effect? I can’t seem to find any reviews by patients who are actually taking it (other than 1 person after 1 week). My doctor thinks that some of his patients have gotten results but it is very expensive. I would like someone else’s opinion.

  2. I find doing walking/hiking, doing some hobby and doing high intensity strength training help a lot.
