| HelenM I will definitely look into adding some pilates type resistance exercises, I know exactly where you are coming from and thanks for pointing out the lack of core strength/flexibility.
The problem I have about pilates and yoga is that those usually "whole body" exercises (in my experience) seem to particularly tire me and bring on whole body aches. I have tried before and they knock me right around and easily bring on the CFS. I agree progress must be made with core strength though, and I suppose I will just have to be very choosy in what pilates exercises I do, aiming for easier and more localised ones. Thanks for hunting down the links.
Dimes, thanks for the encouragement, it's good to think I might get a little more stability through being more active. My challenge is not to think too big too soon - this always gets me.
