- Low-Impact Aerobic Exercise: Walking is a type of aerobic exercise that can help increase heart rate while being low-impact.
- Start Small: The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America recommends starting with short walks, like two minutes a day, and gradually increasing the duration.
- Listen to Your Body: It's important to move at a pace that works for you and respect your body's limits, even if the walk is short.
- Preserve Strength and Mobility: Walking can help preserve strength and mobility, which is crucial for managing MG symptoms.

One MGteam member shared, “Today I did a walk to the lobby from my room. It is a respectable exercise. That was enough for a so-so day. Definitely try to walk to preserve strength and mobility.”

Always consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine to ensure it's safe for your specific condition.
