Probably the last thing someone with fibromyalgia feels like doing is to exercise.  The symptoms of muscle pain, fatigue and tenderness throughout the body do not make it very conducive to want to get up and move.  Yet exercise may be one of the best activities one can do for anyone with this chronic disorder.  Of the estimated 5 million Americans 18 or older – 80% to 90% of those diagnosed being women - exercise can be an effective treatment option significantly showing positive improvements of symptoms resulting in increased quality of life and physical functioning.
