Workouts for Endometriosis

Working out is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle but it can be hard when you are in extreme pain so these are some workouts for endometriosis that are meant to help reduce pain and inflammation.

Not all of these will work for everyone, some have helped me and others haven't but the only way to know if it will help you is through trial and error just like everything, this is just a list of exercises and if you want to do more research on the benefits for you and your individual endometriosis.

Swimming
Water aerobics
Brisk walk
Pilates, Yoga and Tai Chi
Bouldering
lunges
squats
Sit to stands
Clams or Side-lying leg raises

Don't worry if you cant works out every day or some weeks not at all just try and stay as active as you can and don't compare yourself to everyone else because that won't help with your mental state and remember not all exercise is good for endo like situps and high-intensity workouts.

Resources to learn more about Endometriosis

While my book on endometriosis is finally in the editing stages, it has a while until it will be ready to be published. Still, I got to thinking about what resources there are now about endo, not only from a medical standpoint but also from a sufferers point of view. I found books for sale as well as other blog posts, which was amazing to see how much there is out there.

Some studies suggest that endometriosis increases that risk, but it's still relatively low.
