The SECRET to exercising CONSISTENTLY with Ehlers-Danlos & hypermobility

Do you want to know the secret to being consistent with exercise if you have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or hypermobility?

It's the ability to adjust as you go.

The fitness industry tells us that consistency means following the plan as closely as possible. But with EDS, that's never possible.

Have an idea of the direction you want to go in, but be flexible in how you get there.

Sometimes we take a step forwards, sometimes we have to take a step back, sometimes it's a step to the side. So in other words, with EDS, we have to get good at dancing.

In this episode I talk through strategies to adjust your strength training for common EDS challenges, with specific examples for how I've done this in my own training:
- POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
- Joint pain (new or existing)
- CCI (craniocervical instability)
- Intracranial Hypertension
- Fatigue
- Flare ups

These topics and more will be covered in my upcoming Strength Training 101 for EDS & Hypermobility. You can sign up for it at www.bendyandstrong.com
