You both made me laugh!!! I've been terrified to go to the gym. DH and I are going this weekend... I think lifting weights might work???

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago.... I did yoga. It was a peaceful time. Yoga was a very quiet and calm exercise but balance was the key to it all. Balance- yes, that is truly an understatement. Balance and vertigo are two very different things when it comes to people who have absolutely NO balance! LOL

I've tried numerous times to do a yoga pose here/there... only to fall a) flat on my face b) fall over and hurt myself c) fall over and onto something and still hurt myself

Walked the dog last night with son. Kept walking off the curb and sidewalk. That is even a dangerous thing to do. Still frustrating.

Koala: Maybe the exercise bike might work? Can it cause injury?

Yoga is my saving grace. Pilates is also great for when I have extra energy, but I would simply not be able to do a full run at the gym like in days gone by.

Hang in there.

As much as I enjoy walking outside I believe (for me, at least) a controlled environment is safest. Either a treadmill or stationary bike would be best for me. There's too many factors to consider being outside (uneven ground, temperature, bright sunlight, etc.). None of which used to be an issue for me...but now they're things I have to think about.

Resistance training using free weights is probably good as long as you don't overdo it, can hold onto the weight safely and don't get overheated.

I'm of the opinion that any exercise is good as long as you don't overdo it and can handle the pace. I try to incorporate housework and daily living activities into my "exercise" routine by walking and stretching as much as I possibly can throughout the day.

Well ..... I hang on tight and so I haven't fallen off yet, but if you asked my leg or buttock muscles after a good session, they'd scream injury!!

I used to go to yoga classes once weekly, but I got to the stage I just couldn't do it any more. My body just refused to bend the way it should.

Pilates, as already mentioned, and Tai Chi are quite popular here among MSers, and although I did try them, neither were for me.

So, I'll stick to my long walks and my several miles/Kms each day on my bike. That's my workout for now.
