Hi
I have rheumatoid arthritis which is controlled with medication so doesn't bother me too much unless i have a flare up.
At my 6 month review with my consultant he told me that while I'm feeling good I should try and up my fitness levels. He said I can try any exercise I want and not to be afraid of my body.
Thing is I am as I don't want to choose an exercise that might make things worse.
I used to enjoy running at the gym but not sure if I should do this. Money is tight so I can't afford gym at the moment although I do have a pass for 10 free visits.
I also really want to tone up and lose half to one stone of remaining babyweight, mainly on my stomach.
I am fed up of making excuses as I feel unfit, tired and blobby most of the time but I just don't know what to do or where to start and so I do nothing!
Grateful for any advice to get me started please. Thanks.
