I don't mean walking around the block, but legitimately exercise?

I apologize if I came off snarky or whatever word you want to insert here. That post came off to me like a blanket statement to me , my perception .

Do I exercise ? Yes when I can. No when I am not able to. I use to be a gym rat 4-6 hours a day 6 days a week .. Life happened... Fibromyalgia happened and I can't do that anymore .. But I do what I can when I can.

I would just personally not care for a doctor that would push push the exercise point at me.

But this is just my opinion.
