Weighted vest

Safe exercise for ME/CFS?
I’m looking for a short (no more than 20 minutes) exercise program, preferably a video, that would be safe for ME/CFS. Can anyone recommend a program, maybe Pilates, yoga, or tai chi? I walk a slow mile a day but at 73 am losing muscle and feeling weak. I’d be grateful for any suggestions.- Centime Tara

The Weirdiness of Walking and Exercise
So once again I walked too far with the dogs. Once again I congratulated myself on my good walk and my improvement only to get whacked the next day (and now the next day)... The weird thing about the pain that shows up is that it's not in my legs - which after all did the walking - it's more... -
