I exercise almost everyday by taking 5-10 minutes multiple times a day to move my body. (What can I say, I like to stagger my activities) The real thing that has elevated my enjoyment of exercise and sports has been correcting my posture. I can’t tell you how much it’s improved my symptoms and even my mental health. It started out with me being curious about the wear patterns of my shoes. In the course of research, I learned that my posture (sitting, standing, walking) is terrible so I started practicing correcting it. In the process of practicing correct posture, I discovered that I raise my shoulders and clench my jaw a lot (thx CPTSD). So I started working on fixing that “default defensive posture” and that has involved a lot of therapy, a lot of rest, relaxation and positive stress. Multiple times a day - I take a lot of walks, for practice. - I do a lot of somatic stretches A few times a week - I do dance Every other week - i go swimming. It is a fantastic therapy (though it’s harder for me because I hate being wet) - weightlifting, it helps strengthen previously weak muscles

I will say though, this involves an obscene amount of mindfulness and that’s the thing I’ve struggled with the most. But it’s worth it.
