This was a First Reads Book.

This book was short, sweet, and to the point. It is easy to understand and has a great deal of pertinent information. For each exercise, there are pictures, a list of body parts where you should feel the exercise, and written instructions on how to do it. There is also a list of programs and which exercises to use together for what you need. Overall, quite informative.

This is just a bunch of exercises. I was hoping for gentle exercises geared toward people with chronic pain specifically to get back in shape without causing flares. This is not that book. I know of many stretching and moving exercises that are much better for people with fibromyalgia.

The book was published in 2013 and fibromyalgia is still such an unknown condition. It could use some updating because many in the autoimmune community get diagnosed with this condition before diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Sometimes people get diagnosed with both. It does offer some details and tools to manage exercises with ease.

A guide to exercising if you have fibromyalgia.

This book contained a lot of straightforward advice, but I would get expert advice before undertaking any exercise programme.

Reading time around one hour.

This was interesting to read and I noticed I've been doing some of the exercises already when I'm doing yoga. Nevertheless, I'm still not 100% sure if fibromyalgia is what I'm really suffering from. I've been having most of the symptoms like overall pain, fatigue and poor stamina, stiffness in the morning, tingling, numbness or burning sensation in hands and feet, tension headaches as well as palpitations, but pain or tenderness in the main tender points when pressure is applied is not one of them. However, this seems to be the main distinction when diagnosing fibromyalgia.

I think this book is very easy to follow with the pictures and instructions. I am not keeping the book for myself or trying the exercises. This book is for my niece in the hope that it can help her with fibromyalgia. She will let me know if it helps her.
