APRIL DISCUSSION OF THE MONTH: EXERCISE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
In addition to being essential to general health and well-being, exercise is helpful in managing many MS symptoms. However, an exercise program needs to fit your capabilities and limitations. What role does exercise play in your life? What challenges have you run into? What strategies have you found helpful?
Share your questions and experiences on MSConnection.org this month — and check back later this month as we discuss exercise and physical activity with Dr. Rober Motl, Associate Professor, Kinesiology and Community Health at the University of Illinois.
