We all know exercise is good for us, but have you ever felt that actually, something about the way you’re exercising and moving your body isn’t feeling good for you?

The whole premise behind exercise is that it’s a stress that we put on our bodies, and it’s that stress and consequent recovery that goes on to build strength and fitness.

But in a body where chronic illness or auto immune disease exists, stress, in the very broad and multi-layered sense of the term, is something that’s already very present, both as a pre-cursor to illness and disease, and as a result of it.

So what does that say for the way we move our bodies and exercise, and how can we make sure that we’re not overloading our systems, triggering flares or deeper or more recurrent illness, and how can we, in fact, do it in a way that feels good and supports our body’s ability to heal?

Today I’m speaking with Andrea Wool, personal trainer and founder of Autoimmune Strong; the first exercise program designed specifically for people living with autoimmune disease. Her exercise program has now supported thousands of people who love learning how to exercise safely, effectively and in a way that makes their body feel good.
