Exercising with Lupus

Exercise is an important part of taking care of yourself and your wellbeing. Just like everyone else, where possible, people with lupus need to exercise regularly or engage in some kind of movement. It’s very important to recognise that lupus affects everybody differently and so not everyone with lupus can do a wide range of exercises, but most people with lupus can take part in some form of activity. It is also important to realise that the amount of activity you can manage is likely to fluctuate as your lupus does. Not all of these exercises are suitable for everyone - consult your GP if you need advice about which ones are suitable for you.
Nana Akua (LadyXsize) discusses the role of exercise in managing lupus and demonstrates some light exercises that many of you should be able to do in your home. You can skip to a particular exercise or the 5-minute stretch workout using the links below:

Do you have advice for people who get severe muscle cramps? I get them all over my body. My neck, my tongue, hands, hamstrings, stomach muscles, calf, feet. Sometimes shin muscles.

[@misamisa2677]

PeggySue Davis i have learned and experienced that when i drink my green vegetables i feel great, lighter, less pain.
Am turning 60 this month, maintaining people that can give you stress, heartache is a must. Doing the plank has helped me tremendously!!!

[@asharedo]

Can anyone show me a study that demonstrates that high levels of physical exercise can lead to lupus flares? Thanks in advance!

[@LUPUSUKOfficial]

I'm afraid I don't have a link to a study demonstrating this at present - it is likely an under-researched area. We have certainly been informed of anecdotal reports from patients who have had this experience however. From my experience this is predominantly in those who try to do "too much, too soon". Baseline fitness levels could therefore be an important consideration.

[@kanikaganotra8724]

From these exercises can weight will reduce?? Please tell

[@LUPUSUKOfficial]

Hi Kanika. It is important to do some regular physical activity to assist with weight loss and therefore these exercises would probably be better than doing nothing, but weight loss isn't the main aim of these particular exercises. These are intended to help improve and/or maintain flexibility and movement in the joints and muscles to prevent deconditioning.

I've been spending lots of money weekly on buying the popular Supplements just to suppress my Lupus outbreaks as prescribed to me in the hospital. Anyone who has LUPUS can attest this, with all the pains and embarrassing symptoms. Unfortunately, I have found out that those hospital recommended products are frequently not effective at taking care of the problem but rather make you spend all your money. Until I met DR.AVE UDUOGIE, the Herbalist. His herbal remedy will get to the root of the cause and cure you permanently rather than suppress outbreaks with Medical pills which Causes serious damage to the body. And you will be happier, healthier, and outbreak free. He also has herbal remedies that can cure HIV, HPV, hepatitis and so on. Contact DR.AVE UDUOGIE on his email [e-mail] or WhatsApp/Call [phone]. You can contact him and get a permanent cure to your genital and oral Herpes,HIV Aids, Lungs cancer,HPV,Lupus,Cold sore, Blood Cancer,Diabetics,Herpes virus E.T.C...
