In the past, MSers were told not to exercise. Since then, many studies have been done about multiple sclerosis and exercise. The studies showed that exercise can actually help lessen or improve MS symptoms. In 1996, a study by the University of Utah showed that exercise could benefit MSers by helping to:

  • improve cardiovascular fitness
  • improve strength
  • increase endurance
  • improve bladder and bowel function
  • lessen fatigue
  • improve mood
  • becoming more positive
  • becoming more social
  • reduce bone thinning
  • maintain muscle tone and flexibility

Exercise is a very important factor in anyone's life, even if you don't have MS. Not exercising can lead to many different health problems. Heart disease, atrophy of the muscles, decreased bone density, inefficient breathing, and obesity, to name just a few. These problems can lead to even more problems.
