I have a Wii sitting right in front of me, but little motivation to use it. I try everyday, but I get fatigued so easily that 10 minutes is about all I get.
One thing we found that helps me, is to get the whole family involved. I find I push harder through the fatigue. We like doing the Kung Fu moves together. We each take turns on the board while the others follow along.

I stand all day at work and it zaps my energy. I haven't been working out. I'm looking forward to spring so I can take walks and putter in the garden. If I didn't have to stand up all day it would be easier to do a light workout at least a few times a week.

I have been using my Wii, but am waiting for the huge massive snow banks to clear so I can walk my neighborhood. We are getting more snow today and just a bit further north of me is getting up to 18 more inches.

I've been using my Wii too, but to play Lego Indiana Jones.
I am doing physical therapy now, and I've been trying to go to the gym to ride the recumbent bike. I just dont get there as often as I want to.

I like to think of my MS pain and fatigue as like, "hallucinations". They seem real, but in fact, the pain is not truly true pain in that it's not th etype of pain that has a job of warning us not to move.
For example, if you break your leg, the pain serves a function so that we won't try to walk on it. But, MS pain serves no function (other than to make us miserable)... so, I just ignore the pain and keep moving. Case in point, last month I had terrible MS pain in my hand, wrist and fingers. I ignored it and continued to swim... I do think that exercise has anti-inflammatory properties, and therefore, can help the MS (and th epain).... Same with the fatigue. I pretend its a hallucination, and I exercise despite it. The exercise does provide some brief energizing effect too. Well, I hope this idea helps people. My exercise choice is to swim a mile daily. Maybe swimming is better to counteract fatigue than other forms of exercise: this I do not know.
