- Start date
hi jenzy! i don't know if i would consider myself an "advanced" exerciser, definitely intermediate though. i just replied because of the fibromyalgia. i was diagnosed with fibro last december and am trying to get my body back into consistent exercising. i've been exercising at least three times a week but trying to get up to 4 - 5 times a week. anyway, feel free to drop me a line!

I don't have fibromyalgia, but I consider myself an intermediate-advanced exerciser suffering from arthritis. The firm forum has a thread in their check-ins challenges for people suffering from chronic illnesses (a lot of them have fibromyalgia) and they don't just talk about Firm videos. You could check that out! Here's the link

Luz!
Great to hear from you. I was diagnosed about 2 years ago. Since January I have been exercising regularly trying to regain my formerly advanced status. I have been very surprised by how much exercise has helped me. I have been inspired by a doctor's wife I read about who regularly competes in 5K races. Higher level athletics IS possible with FMS. But we just have to work it gently oh so gently.
Let me know your experience. My email is [email protected] I don't see how to email you from the forum. (I am a newbie in the Cathe forum, but not new to exercise or forums!)

Thanks for the tip about the Firm check in. I did know about that little inspiring group of people working hard on fitness in spite of their various conditions. I just don't have the time to be checking in every week. But I like to hear people's stories about how they are modifying their exercise regimens and still advancing forward even if they have had to change things a bit due to a special condition.
I was so so happy the day I completed BodyMax even though I have fibromyalgia. It is not a regular thing to do a workout like that yet, but I can see that I will reach that point eventually.

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Jun-24-01 AT 01:08AM (Est)[/font][p]I met a wonderful woman named Laura when I went on the video fitness trip to see the filming of Christi Taylor's videos. She is a pretty advanced exerciser and has fibromyalgia. I will send her an email about you and maybe the two of you can connect. She is a terrific person and I think you'll really enjoy meeting her.

Wow, I couldn't believe it when I checked the Cathe boards and saw people talking about me.
Yes, Jenzy, please e-mail me, I would love to compare notes. I have been an advanced exerciser for several years and I've had fibromyalgia for about 20 years.
Cyndie, I had a GREAT time meeting you! You are an amazing woman.
Debbie, I will e-mail you soon
