Sorry, hit add when I didn't mean to and I can't delete it!

Anyway ☺ I do mostly strength training and I have 3 set workouts I do once a week each for 6 weeks. Fatigue is my worst symptom most of the time, so I have to be really careful not to overdo it. When I'm having a tired (but not toooooo tired), day, I'll still do my workout, but use lighter weights and/or bodyweight. I may also do fewer sets/reps. I get some movement in without taxing my body too much. Light and lower impact cardio could be good too (walking on the treadmill, swimming, elliptical). I think you're definitely on the right trackwith reducing symptoms with exercise. You could also consider taking ibuprofen or a natural anti-inflammatory (turmeric, tart cherry juice etc) before working out to see if that helps. That being said, I was just sidelined for a week bc I had a bad bout of fatigue from working out and was in bed for 2 days; unfortunately nothing is foolproof, but it really makes a difference over time. I hope you find something that worksfor you 💪

@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member that's a great idea too, especially if you sit all day for work. Sitting really takes a number on our spines! I have a foam roller at home and a mini one in my office and it's helpful. Good luck!

Thanks ladies for your answers! Maybe I'll try strength training and try not to push myself too much. Right now, I'm just trying to force myself to walk around during my 30 minute lunch break (otherwise I sit at my desk all day).

I love to exercise!
