So I am first trying to just get my body used to some heightened activity, without overdooing any one thing, and hopefully contributing to the 3 issues of dealing with (and hopefully improving) my fatigue situation, dealing with and improving my insulin usage and stability, and dealing with and improving my arm, which seems to lack muscle tone and has a susceptibility to tear or inflame.

So this is the approach I have come up with to start to get somewhere, trying to be as softly softly as possible.
- 2 x 30 Skipping. Just get puffed then. This will go up pretty dramatically I predict, But I aim to keep it light.
- 5 minutes exercise bike, just behind the "pushing" wall.
Arm with 1.5 kg weight:
- 3 x 10 weight dumbell curves. (this is max before feeling tearing)
Arm with about .5 kg weight:
- 3 x 10 overhead tricep extensions
- 3 x 10 lateral pull ups I think they are called - arm outstretched
Anything more than these weights and reps I feel straining.


I am thinking of doing this 1 hour before evening meal, if BG within reason, I have tried to do it after a meal and it seems to require so many corrections. Hoping the meal (mid-carb at this stage) will allow a cushioning impact for my BG.

I know all this seems so paltry but do remember my CFS condition and the fact that my BG reacts so strongly to exercise, even this level can cause extreme variations which hits me like a brick! Otherwise, I do a few hours a week of walking which doesn't "rock the boat" too much, but frustratingly doesn't seem to condition my metabolism much.

I would like to get to the stage a gym membership is cost effective for me. At the moment it seems to me that I am better of trying to get basic conditioning going first, so that I can do a reasonable workout. Fair attitude to take?

As a starting point, can anyone recommend additions or replacements that may serve me better? I would really appreciate feedback.
