Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi there!
Since I hadn't seen your face around here before, I thought first of all I would just say welcome to the boards and I hope you find some great information here to help whatever your tummy troubles!

I am not one of the fitness experts around here, but I thought I would just pop my head in to ask a couple of questions..
1) Do you know what your fitness goals are? Is it for weight loss, or to help stomach motility or just to be healthier?
2) Are you already on any sort of fitness program?
3) Do you have anything that would restrict you from any kind of fitness activity?

I think answering those might help people guide you toward a good fitness plan for you.
If you are just looking to get healthier and incorporate exercise into your life, there are limitless things you can do! I think the easiest way to start out is probably walking.. taking a 30 minute walk a few times a week in the evenings or something is a non-stressful but effective way to get your body moving, especially if you aren't very active.
If you are more active, then maybe adding specific cardio, weights, yoga, etc. into a weekly program would be more effective.
Anything you do is great, so it's great that you are trying to incorporate it into your life!

Cheers!!
--Steph
