Exercise while working full time, how do you balance?
I’m officially diagnosed with hEDS/HSD, fibromyalgia and CFS. I e recently moved to a new position at work where I’m a lot more physically active than I used to be. My previous job I was mostly sitting at a desk almost the entire workday, now I will often be hauling large volumes of documents around the building(quite large with many rooms), going up and down stairs and doing all of this while having to wear dress shoes (heels, etc). Before I got this position I found it a lot easier to attend my Pilates class on the weekend, but now I’m finding myself constantly physically in pain, fatigued and tired after the work day and during it and by the time the weekend comes around it’s hard to do anything beyond maybe a walk to the shops.
I know Pilates helps my joints a lot, but honestly I’m not sure how to cope with going to class on weekends or after work with currently feeling so run down after every work day. I’ve thought about maybe getting something for my office to try and exercise at work but I don’t even know where to start there either. I don’t drive either, so going to my class requires me to walk and take a bus as well.
Has anyone found any good strategies/guides etc that have worked for them?
