...so how I stretching when hypermobile? Doctor did not say the hypermobility is why the owww invariably hits before anything starts stretching, but come on, it stands to reason!

Is three 10min walks in a day really better than one 30min walk???

I also am a very Suspicious.

There is an EDS/hypermobility comm on DW, hit them up rather than trusting general advice as there are MANY MUCH misinfo out there.

Oh is there? *zoom*

Also: is 1 30m walk better than 1 or 0 10min walk, realistimacalifally? For srs.

idkkkk

Regarding the walking (as a SPT), yeah, if the three 10 minute walks suit you better than the one 30 minute walk. If you can't handle the 30 minute walk because of pain or even time restraints, you can do three 10 minute walks through the day instead and the article is right - it is still the same health benefit (for the most part, unless you're trying to lose weight, but that gets into exercise physiology...which isn't what you're asking, so short answer, yes, still good).

We did briefly cover fibromyalgia in one of my classes. Looking at my powerpoint slides, the EULAR revised recommendations strongly recommends exercise for management. I'll copy/paste what was on my slide:

-Exercise programmes lasting 2.5–24 weeks.
-Aerobic exercise for ≥20 min, once a day (or twice for ≥10 min), 2–3 days a week
-Strength training with ≥8 repetitions per exercise, 2–3 times a week
-No clear advantage strength versus aerobic
-No clear advantage of land versus water

I'm also thinking in terms of, the hell is the point of driving to a park if I only plan to be there a few minutes?

But ten minutes back and forth down the apartment sidewalk is the same damn thing as ten minutes to lap the city park, I'm sure.

1lb water is about 1qt. Funny, I feel like I've taken this train of thought before.

Thank you :)

If your body can handle one 30 minute walk, then do it and that'll justify the drive to a park. If it can't or you don't have time for a solid 30, then break it up. The health benefit in your case is still the same whichever decision you take.

I've driven to a nearby park to walk because it was pretty, but today I also just walked around the inside of my apartment for 30 minutes because of allergies and it was getting dark. I also had a tablet in my hand so I could watch an episode of something. Whatever works for you and your lifestyle.

The land versus water thing is between walking versus swimming. If you had access to a pool, you could swim instead and there's no clear advantage of swimming over walking or vice versa, so it's all good health benefit wise.

Better for what? If a 30-minute walk hurts but you can do the three shorter walks without pain, or with less pain, then it's better. Or if you can more easily fit the shorter walks into your schedule, which includes errands and such. For example, when I lived in New York I took at least two ten-minute walks every workday, just getting to and from the subway.

If you're trying to get your heart rate up, you might spend a bit more time with it elevated on the single 30-minute walk (because less warmup), but I suspect that's numerically true but not relevant to your health.

I think that first is the point. Not sure.

Interesting. Yoga is contraindicated for hypermobility because of the joint stretching. Pilates is better apparently (h has recently been to one of the big pain clinics for a hypermobility session)
