castronovo112587 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 What exercise plans/programs have anyone tried? I am newly diagnosed with pots and have been reading all over that excercise can help with the symptoms and tachycardia. I know exercise is a big challenge. What type of exercises have been easiest to do and are most effective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecom Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hi Rosey,A lot of people follow the Levine protocol. A lot of the study's claims are quite controversial - but its basic exercise protocol is just common sense. It basically calls for starting out with recumbent exercise, specifically recumbent exercise biking and/or a rowing machine + some light weight lifting and eventually moving on to upright exercise. There are a lot of good threads about this if you do a search on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castronovo112587 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I will look into the Levine protocol. I am getting a recumbent bike as well and will start off really slow. I am determined to do everything that I can to get back to as normal of a life as possible. This isn't my first time dealing with a severe health issue as I have overcome cancer so I am used to being knocked down and having to fight my way back up. I am thankful for this site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
