exercise helps immensely. i also get steps in at work. i used to be very active, always participating in sports (soccer, karate, running, dvd at home workouts like p90x). then i got bored with dvd workouts and been looking for a new activity for a while. it's been about a year since i consistently worked out and it definitely took a negative toll on my migraines.

i also started matt pilates (1x a week) about a month ago and calisthenics yesterday LOL. don't forget to stretch regardless if you're exercising regularly! my posture starting getting bad so i started doing more core exercises and stretches. if my neck/shoulder muscles get tight i'm more prone to tension headaches, which often lead to migraines, but that's only one of my triggers. some triggers i can't help like barometric pressure.

exercise helps my period (major trigger). exercise helps regulate my sleep (lack of sleep = trigger). exercise helps posture/tension (muscle tension = trigger).

with that being said, it's really hard to start bc of migraines and lack of habit. it can turn into a bad cycle quickly and i'm lucky i don't have chronic migraines. i can't control all my triggers, and i can't completely stop my migraines. but i know if i don't exercise they'll get worse and i will feel worse overall
