  • Exercise to maintain strength and flexibility and reduce stiffness

    <div dir=”ltr”>Prior to ALS (diagnosed in May 2022), exercise– tennis, hiking, bicycling, swimming, etc.– was always a very important part of my life.   Now I get fatigued on the shortest of walks– and that’s with a walker. My quadriceps in particular seem quite weak, which I suspect is the main reason I’m so dependent on a walker.  My “go to” physical activities these days are stretching and yoga. I like that these don’t sap my limited daily store of energy too much.   For those of you who still can get around on your legs without a walker, do have suggestions of exercises, stretches, etc. to maintain as much as possible leg strength and flexibility and reduce stiffness?</div>
