He did suggest the bike, which I thought was very silly. An exercise bike targets specific muscles, which is exactly what I need to avoid. It makes more sense to me to aim for exercise that uses a little of one muscle, and then a little of another, so as not to sustain the stress on any one muscle. Good exercise for me is walking around the block (never alone), and this summer I will swim (but not in water over my head!). I think swimming must be especially good, because it's so gentle, and it's easy to rest while you're doing it, and because it allows you to stretch. Also, the coldness of the lake water is good for myasthenia.
