Product Description
Lynne Matallana, President and Editor-in-Chief of the National Fibromyalgia Association, shares her experience with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) and the role of exercise as a management tool. The disabling and varying levels of pain and fatigue associated with FMS are major symptoms. However, one of the most frustrating aspects of this condition is the physical debilitation causing functional limitations that affect quality of life. FMS patients will benefit from the gentle exercise program designed by Mary Ann Wilson, RN to improve posture, breathing and range of motion. Both seated and standing versions of exercises are demonstrated by Ms. Wilson and Lori McCormick, PT. This workout uses a 9-12 inch ball as a fitness tool.

Excellent Fibro Workout! by Woofie Mom (Pacific NW USA)

5 Stars

I have Fibromyalgia and a balance disorder (and several other disorders) that make it almost impossible for me to exercise, but with this DVD I can do gentle stretching that helps keep me flexible. And best of all if I'm having a bad day I can do the entire workout SITTING DOWN! Or if I'm having a good day I can do some of the parts while standing. It does NOT require a bunch of expensive, space consuming equipment, just a small playground-type ball, or even no ball! This workout would also be great for people with arthritis, low physical strength, and of course poor balance, CFS-ME, and as stated on the DVD, Fibromyalgia, or for anyone just wanting to improve their flexibility without a strenuous workout. I highly recommend the "Sit and Be Fit" DVDs.
