Exercise is great on the days I can do it, I love going for a walk. But sometimes when I hear that suggestion - I wonder if those people have ever lain in a totally uncomfortable position in bed for 45 minutes because they felt paralyzed, unable to will their muscles to reposition themselves into something more comfortable. From that perspective, even light exercise seems like walking on the moon; merely a thought, not real.
I appreciate your difficulties but have always wondered at our lack of support for preventative measures as a society here in Australia and possibly worldwide.
Would a personal trainer or paid or not training buddy or something of the sort help your motivation?
It's a good question. I could see it working for some people (accountability, companionship) but at least for me, one of my parents is a certified PT and while she has helped a bit, the problem is just more deeply rooted than that unfortunately, at least for me.
But, again, everyone's experiences are different.
