Exercise?

Evening all bit of a random question but I put on weight after being diagnosed ,just pure comfort eating im trying to loose weight and have got a belly, lol I used to do abs classes but stopped after being diagnosed was not sure If I should with some of the movements putting a bit of pressure on the back and spine, am I being paronoid? or is it safe to start doing some ab work again?.

Hi @melmel1 I have very few symptoms but L’hermittes is one of them. For this reason I don’t do anything which encourages the bending of my neck if only because it acts as grim distraction to what should be fun experience. There are countless forms of exercises you could do instead, i’d choose whichever you are most comfortable. I did not get specific advice on this topic from my physio, but she did say MS has no affect on CV fitness, so I like to push hard on the cross trainer (no bouncing up and down which results in my legs tingling) All the best Dan

@glawsdan thank u for reply, I am paro about spine as have a lesion there do u think its best to avoid things like planks and ab work on the floor and just do alternatives. Im the same I stopped running and do cross trainer now or walk on treadmill x
