POTS Exercise Protocol Diaries - Kate the (Almost) Great

Welcome back to my Boston lifestyle blog, where I share snippets of my journey living with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Today, I’m diving into my exercise protocol diaries—a vital part of my daily routine that helps manage my symptoms and improve my overall well-being.

Incorporating exercise into my life has been both a challenge and a triumph. I’ve learned that consistency is key, but the type and intensity of workouts must be tailored to my body's fluctuations. With guidance from my healthcare team, I've established a structured protocol that includes gentle exercises like seated leg lifts, resistance band workouts, and short walks. Each session is meticulously logged in my diary to track my progress and adjust as needed.

The beauty of this journey lies in finding joy within the limits imposed by POTS. As I document each workout, I celebrate small victories—whether it’s completing an extra set of repetitions or simply feeling less fatigued than the day before. This blog serves as a reminder that while POTS may alter my path, it doesn’t define my strength or spirit. Join me as we embrace the power of movement, however modest it may seem, and continue to strive for greatness, one step at a time.
