One of my readers writes: “Hey Doc, I’ve got fibromyalgia and have been doing all the right things to improve my fitness. Pacing myself. Accepting my low threshold and working within it with lighter weights and shorter workouts. I’ve progressed, but I’m stuck and not able to increase my exercise tolerance enough. Why is that happening?” In the video, I dive into some of the reasons why fibromyalgia and chronic pain can be so limiting in terms of activity. Why do you flare up? Sometimes there are things you can do to break through the barrier and build strength, endurance, and ability to function.
