Every doctor you’ve seen has told you to exercise.

Not one of them told you how to do that in a body that changes its mind halfway through. You’ve tried the YouTube workouts and had to stop 10 minutes in. You’ve walked into a gym and left before you started because nothing in there was designed for what you’re working with. You’ve pushed through a class because you didn’t want to be the one who sat down, and then spent the next two days paying for it. Sheree Love (@theshereelove @theshadesofms) gets it because she’s living it. She’s leading the Adaptive Fitness session at Wellness Week(end), and adaptive means exactly what it sounds like. The movement meets you where your body actually is that day, not where somebody’s program assumes it should be. If you need to sit, you sit. If you need to modify, the modification isn’t the backup plan, it’s the design. If today’s version of your body can do half of what last week’s could, you’re still fully participating. This isn’t about getting back to who you were before your diagnosis. It’s about moving in a way that works for who you are now, without apology and without paying for it tomorrow. October 30 through November 1, JW Marriott Buckhead in Atlanta. General admission is $200, VIP is $375. Comment TICKET and we’ll send you the link. #WeAreILLMatic #WellnessWeekend #BlackWomenWithMS #LupusAwareness #AdaptiveFitness
