6Exercise Regularly
It can be challenging to do exercises when you feel fatigued or have pain. However, it is actually an effective option to manage fatigue linked to fibromyalgia. If performed correctly, exercise would also help alleviate fibromyalgia pain, improve overall health, as well as boost the muscle strength and mass. Another benefit of physical activity is the release of endorphin. This is a type of hormone that would make you feel good and improve the quality of sleep.
Studies have shown that both muscle-strengthening training and aerobic training may have significant effects on symptoms of fibromyalgia, such as depression, tenderness, fatigue, sleep issues, and pain. If you do not know where to start, then it is advisable to begin with only five minutes of walking a day and then increase the duration and pace slowly over time. Strength training with weights or resistance bands can be effective in building muscle. The key is to start slowly to let your body get used to the increased weights. If necessary, talk with your doctor or trainer to make a good training plan. [7]
