Have just discovered Myfitnesspal (and love it) but need ideas on strength training.

I have MS so can't do the walking exercises in the 12-week plan and am using an exercise cycle so it would be great if anyone has any ideas for strength training exercises for getting started. Many thanks.

I can recommend the Yoga for MS programme at Ekhart Yoga. It isn't free - you can pay to download or take out a subscription. However, there is a session up on YouTube so you could try it out and see if you like the teacher (she has MS herself)

I don't have quite the same diagnosis but I've just graduated from the NHS Strength and Flexibility programme - it does get pretty challenging. I've also done the NHS Couch to 5K programme - ironically because I couldn't sustain brisk walking. I find running easier than walking (not that the pace is much different...)

Swimming or other forms of exercise in water may also suit.

Such a variable condition, both between individuals and for the same person from day to day. I wish you luck... and much enjoyment. I don't burn a lot of calories but it does help.
