I think gentle exercise is very important for lupus patients. It keeps our joints more limber & keeps our heart healthier. Aquacize is an outstanding activity for lupus patients as it is gentle but can get our heart rate up and strengthen our muscles. I also love therapeutic yoga for my lupus. It is mostly stretching but does work on core strength & relaxation. Moderate walking a short distance daily is not only good for our bodies but a mental health boost too.

Low impact like Yoga or Pilates because of joint pain

Low impact, keep moving! Even when you don’t feel like it! Even for ten minutes at a time!

Anyone with lupus may exercise lightly under the advisement of their doctor. As long as thee aren’t any other limiting issues for that specific individual

I believe we should all try to stay active in some way even if it a few small stretches everyday.I would start there.Yoga and Pilates would be a good start as well.

Excessive exercise not so much but it's best to do what you comfortably can. Yoga is great, swimming.

Exercise regimens should first be approved by your physician, and after approval remember to begin slowly. Keep track of pain or fatigue levels, and adjust accordingly. What works for one patient might not work for another, so keep that in mind as you proceed.
Swimming, walking, cycling are good exercises, but any movement is better than none at all. Listen to your body, and do those things you will enjoy repeating, otherwise you probably won't continue.

If the sport is good for everyone, and more for people with different disabilities or ailments.
I do yoga, pillars, swimming, and I don't have a car and I'm going to all the sites on foot.

Moving is always good for the joints and for the body to not be gripped, but the intensity of the sport have to depend on each person and each moment. Something really good is to do stretches (or yoga for stretch and relax the body), walking and swimming.

Yes. It is recommended that the person with lupus to practice exercises physicists, since her and make her feel good, and that you respect the limitations, the exercise type, frequency, and intensity should be examined in each case, some exercises of high intensity can cause stress to the body and a reaction of the Lupus. Would recommend weight training to strengthen the joints, pilates, swimming, yoga, tai chi chuan, all of the exercises that lead to relaxation and well-being help in the reduction of anxiety and stress thus relieving the symptoms and balancing the body
