Staying active during myeloma maintenance therapy can make a real difference in how you feel day to day. Regular movement can help with energy levels, mood, and overall quality of life — even when treatment makes things tough.
Some popular options among MyMyelomaTeam members include:
- Walking (outdoors or on a treadmill)
- Swimming or water-based exercise
- Biking
- Yoga and stretching
- Light weight lifting If neuropathy is a side effect you're dealing with, low-impact activities like swimming, biking, and stretching can be especially helpful. Supportive footwear can also make movement more comfortable.
Even small amounts of regular movement count. As one MyMyelomaTeam member put it, "I am convinced that movement and exercise has really contributed to my recovery."
Fatigue can make exercise feel like a mountain to climb, and that's completely valid. Always check with your doctor before starting or changing your exercise routine, especially during active treatment.
