Why Most MS Exercise Programs Don't Work
Cookie-Cutter "Functional" Exercises
Many MS programs are dance moves and basic exercises you can find for free on YouTube. They get you moving, but they don't challenge the body enough to get ahead of your MS symptoms.
No Resistance = Not Enough Muscle Fiber Activation
Exercise programs that use no equipment and allow for no resistance do not provide enough muscle fiber activation to be effective. Real strength and mobility take real resistance.
Built By Trainers Who Don't Have MS
Those trainers may have a good education on simple exercise, but they don't know what it's like to actually overcome MS or a chronic condition. Their programs show it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my level of MS or mobility level matter?
No. Thousands of members are at all levels of MS, whether relapsing remitting, primary progressive or otherwise, with a wide variety of mobility levels and symptoms. The programs are designed for everyone, whatever the chronic condition (MD, CP, Parkinson's and more), and every training method can be done standing or seated. You should be cleared by your neurologist, GP or PT to exercise.
Do I need any special equipment?
The training methods use inexpensive but effective resistance bands with handles, a door anchor and leg straps. A complete set is available through this website at low cost, and it's free with the annual plan.
How much time do I need each day?
The program runs on a 3-day cycle. Each workout takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the body parts worked, followed by one or two rest days. It takes time, focus and effort.
Why is OptimalBody better than other MS exercise programs?
It was created by David Lyons, who has lived with MS for 20 years and has over 45 years in fitness. It's science based and built around 5 core processes, including neuroplasticity, muscle fiber activation and brain-to-muscle reconnection.
