Fellow fibro folks I could use some suggestions.

I saw my PCP last week. My blood pressure is elevated. She told me to get more exercise. Okaaaaay...

In addition to fibro I have chronic fatigue. Exercise recommendation for fibro is light exercise. For CFS avoiding exercise during periods of fatigue is recommended. So, I try to walk a fine line between too much and too little exercise. I overdid this week getting ready for the hurricane. I knew I was overdoing at the time, but had to get the stuff done. I'm paying the price today. I HURT. I know what I need to do for the next few days - rest. Yet the doc told me to exercise.

So, anyone have any ideas how I am supposed to get 30 minutes of cardio exercise 5X per week and not end up exhausted and in pain?
