I found that it helps with some my fibromyalgia symptoms (i.e., pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms). However, I've had a hard time sticking to it because it, quite frankly, kicks my butt. It takes a lot more effort than I first realized. Instead of just giving up on it, though, I've decided to take it slower this time and slowly build up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03525663987447254451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960279.post-51603616454400531402012-04-16T07:49:46.261+02:002012-04-16T07:49:46.261+02:00@Ruth - maybe it suits you!@Ruth - maybe it suits you!Claudia Moserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749097943320550338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960279.post-89912561389518318712012-04-15T21:05:46.154+02:002012-04-15T21:05:46.154+02:00I never seem to have the motivation to do much exe...I never seem to have the motivation to do much exercise.
