A member asked:
I want to lose weight but i have hypermobility syndrome and most physical exercise hurts me, what can i do to loose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Start small: Start small and gradually increase your exercise program. As long as you have been evaluated by a physician and you have not been found to have any grossly unstable joints, it will be ok to work through/endure some pain as you gradually increase your exercise. Talk to your physician for confirmation.
