An ongoing multiple sclerosis exercise program
- Exercise early in the day
- Use a fan, mister, or a cool vest

- Choose a cool area
- Choose an exercise you like
- Work with a PT to come up with a program
Ultimately, your exercise program should meet your needs and or goals. Ask yourself, what do you want to accomplish?

- You may need to lose or maintain your present weight
- You might want to stay flexible
- Exercising may help you improve your mood
- Or you may wish to have an activity that will give you something to do outside the house
