What are barriers to fitness?
Fitness routines are often important to overall health, however they are not always easy to maintain regularly with a chronic condition. Tell us: what are the barriers to your fitness routines? How do you over come those obstacles?
HCM — shortness of breath, fear another run of tachycardia I can’t convert with Valsalva, lightheartedness, and dizziness.
High Blood Pressure
High(ish) cholesterol
Bone-on-bone arthritis
My activity comes from going to PT!!Lack of time, energy, or desire; health or physical restrictions; a lack of social support; fear of injury; and insufficient resources, such as funds or facilities, are all obstacles to fitness.

my barriers are mostly from my peripheral artery disease, my legs ache easily and my missing two toes really affect my balance. But, I'm grateful for what I can do.😊 
I'm sorry to hear that. What are you able to do for exercise? -Olivia
