    I do several short bouts of gentle exercises several times a day – – every day. I find that if I have to skip any or all, that I feel stiffness in all my muscles. It’s funny that no exercise = stiffness, and, some exercise = feeling good. Muscles and joints need movement. They are not the problem with ALS, only the final recipient of the cause of ALS.
