Members shared their favorite low-impact exercises that help manage symptoms without triggering post-activity crashes, with swimming and water-based activities emerging as the clear favorite across the board. Several members described how they personalize their aquatic routines by varying time and intensity based on daily energy levels, using flotation belts and foam weights in deep water, or creating their own exercises like leg lifts and bike movements in the pool.
