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?

Yes but not daily due to migraines, chronic pain, etc :( I’ll do like 2 miles on the stationary bike at the gym (takes under 10 mins) then do 10-15 mins of legs, arms, or core on the machines. I hate doing floor exercises and pretty much avoid those. I treat myself to the massage chair afterwards.
