ACE CERTIFIED | Exercise Programming for Clients Who Have Fibromyalgia

An estimated 10 million Americans are living with fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by chronic widespread pain and fatigue. Although regular exercise elicits a wide range of health benefits, it can aggravate or worsen fibromyalgia symptoms if not individualized and performed properly. This, in turn, may lead to greater inactivity and decreased conditioning, which can spiral into an increased risk of obesity and other comorbidities that further increases pain and significantly diminishes the individual’s overall quality of life. As a health and exercise professional, understanding the distinctive exercise needs of individuals who have fibromyalgia is essential. In this video and accompanying article in CERTIFIED, Dr. Lance Dalleck outlines strategies for developing safe and effective exercise programs that can help alleviate rather than aggravate your client's symptoms.
