Yoga

In order to stay active the last 4 months, all I have been able to do is walk. Several times I have tried to run but it has not worked due to the tachycardia. I really have a desire to get more fit but it is difficult with my muscle weakness and rapid heart rate. My muscles are not weak due to lack of use but due to the disease.
Recently I have started doing yoga. There are many things that I have to do modified (mostly plank-like poses) but I find that I can do most things. It relaxes me while strengthening my core. I'm using the `Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga' by Bob Harper and I'm not doing it to lose weight:)
So, if you haven't tried yoga, I would recommend it. For anyone and everyone.
