Hi
!
The biggest lifestyle change that I have made is exercise. There was a lot of trial and error when it comes to exercise. On different days I can exercise in different ways.
There were days that I pushed myself too much and ended up in a big flare.
I have now learned how to listen to my body while exercising.
I walk daily which loosens my body, some days 5K, some days 1K.
I find Pilates to be the best exercise I have tried.
Currently, I am trying to learn how to exercise with weights. I haven't quite got there yet but I am taking it slow and steady.
All the best,
