Across the United States, the last Wednesday of September is
National Women’s Health and Fitness Day. This annual occurrence has been
recognized as one of the largest health promotions in the nation.
What does that mean for ladies
living with multiple sclerosis?
Surely, that depends on each MSer. What do you do to blow
off steam, burn calories, or stretch too-tight limbs?
Virtually all physicians
recommend individually suitable exercise for MSers. Clearly, realistic
goals are a must. But it’s important to keep moving, in whatever ways we can.
Maybe you schedule a physical therapy session. Perhaps you
lift hand weights (or soup cans) a few times to build your upper body strength.
Possibly you take a walk or participate in water exercises. Or you might do
some yoga stretches or tai chi movements.
I’m gonna go walk my dog around the block. Today, I can. With
RRMS (relapse-remitting multiple sclerosis), who knows what tomorrow may look
like?
But for today, it’s National Women’s Health and Fitness Day.
And everything counts.
