MM is not a contradiction for going to the gym. It is the underlying bone issues that may prevent you from strenuous exercise. You want to avoid fractures.

I spend 60 to 90 minutes at the gym - 3 to 5 times weekly. First is a mile on the elliptical (about 18 minutes) and then upper and lower strength - 40 to 70 lbs, depending on the station (across 9 stations - alternating on various days).

Planet Fitness is free to Seniors with Silver Sneakers or similar.

Hi Valeri,
I have used differing forms of developing exercise regimens since different Multiple Myeloma symptoms can require exercise that matches your capabilities. I recommend physical therapy to start if your multiple myeloma limits your physical capacity. PT can be specific to your needs. I did home exercise from my PT recommendations. I am currently working out at the YMCA which consists of treadmill walking adjusted to my capability, light weight lifting , and swimming laps. Everything is situational to your capability. Make sure you progress gradually, no pressure upon yourself. I always had some exercise in my past habits prior to Multiple Myeloma so I gauge the regimen on how I feel during and after exercise.

I hope this helps.

I did go to the gym after my remission to build back some muscle and strength. I was doing fine until one of the exercises injured my back. Now I am using a walker and going to PT hoping to get back to walking and riding the exercise cycle. Be careful what you do

I do Planet Fitness several times a week working the same exercises I did in physical therapy with very limited weight
