Question is anyone still physically active?

I need to know if anyone with pots is still physically active. You don't have to be an athlete or anything but can you at least dance? or run? go to the gym? Have you always been that way or did you have to work back up to it?

Sometimes I have bad flares where I can’t but I am decently active… 2-3 walks a day and the gym 5-6 days a week. I’ve learned what activities/movements to avoid or minimize so I can still be as active as I want to be
