Took child to school - went to work - collected child from school, 20 mins essential shopping, ignored chronic fatigue did 1 hr ironing. Siezed up on sofa. Too tired to even speak. Does that count?

Seriously though - I need to do some form of aerobic exercise but am struggling because feet so bad. I'd be interested to hear what other people do. Must cofess - I know swimming would be best but I hate it.

What I count as exercise is anything I set out to do as ("prescribed") exercise in addition to my daily activities. Personally, with daily activities, I used to pace myself and not push myself beyond fatigue. I would stop exercise as well if I felt actually fatigued as opposed to with a minor pain.

I do hope you will be able to keep up posted on your swimming, May.

I have come to terms with the fact that one cannot send individual "public" replies in this forum i.e. reply to a message as an offshoot of the main one. So here, goes.
Julie - I wonder whether you would enjoy aquarobics if you don't like swimming? I used to go to an aquarobics class for elderly ladies when I used to wobble along. I was the youngest person in the group but it was fantastic - I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Good luck with your endeavours, Lora, and please keep us posted.
Every bit counts, even walking to the hairdressers: it's only last week that I started doing that too i.e. walking to the local shop rather than take the car, parking further away from the supermarket door, etc.
Lylie- I hope you don't overdo it again - rest is an essential part of the day and of any exercise plan.
Thank you so much for the encouragement, Jean, I look forward to hearing of your progress.
I agree with you that someone who has been unwell, as I hear Barbara has been, should not do anything strenuous. But even if you are bedbound, it's important to do gentle range of movement exercises every day, as prescribed by your physiotherapist.
