Exercise can actually cause a flare, but exercise can also improve your life with IC. Avoid steps, lifting, and heavy cardio. Instead, use your own body weight to gain strength a bit at a time (while making sure you eat enough). You will be sore, and if you aren't very careful, could end up in a flare. Dancing like you are night clubbing is something I miss, but long walks are perfect. This may hurt, if it does, stop immediately. Don't push your body, work with It! I suggest planning a very simple at home work out.

Yes, you can exercise but be kind to your crotch. If you are going to swim, then be sure to dry completely as to avoid infection. Biking and running may need more breaks. Always get out of your sweaty clothes to avoid infection.
I recommend what you enjoy doing but just listen to your body.

Depending on the symptoms.
Avoid impact sports such as jogging, jumping rope, playing basketball or football.

Yoga, pillars, the elliptical are the best exercises for people with bladder pain
