Exercise Intolerance Explained (And How to Move Without Crashing)

If exercise makes you feel worse instead of better, you’re not imagining it. In this video, I explain what exercise intolerance actually is, why traditional fitness advice often fails people with chronic illness, and how movement can be adapted to support your nervous system instead of overwhelming it.We talk about the science behind exercise intolerance, the crash cycle, and gentle programming principles that prioritise safety, recovery, and sustainability, especially for people with conditions like POTS and dysautonomia.I talk about my personal thought process towards exercise and how I have actively worked to reframe it.This is a supportive, science-backed conversation for anyone who wants to move their body without triggering symptom flares.My course is available online for guided exercise support - POTS Starter Programme on www.tovewoodexphys.comThis podcast does not serve as a substitute for medical advice.
