A member asked:

Are household chores like sweeping, mopping, cleaning and washing beneficial for those with fibromyalgia &could be considered as daily excercise for me.?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Absolutely.: Those are great exercises, and that's a good way to look at doing household tasks. Balance them by doing some walking and stretching, every day.
