Combine with Other Exercises to Gain Muscle Strength and Energy
If you are looking to find a suitable exercise with fibromyalgia but struggle to use the treadmill, start with whole body vibration exercise instead.
Start slowly by simply standing on the power plate. After you have gotten used to balancing on the power plate, gradually increase the intensity of whole body vibration exercise. You can do so by doing other exercises while on the power plate. Start off with easy movements like swinging the arms, stretching or easy yoga poses. When you are up to it, perform strength training exercises like lunges, squats and planks etc. This can help you to gain muscle strength and energy to improve muscle weakness and fatigue.

I declined saying I was in too much pain. He talked to me some more and I decided to try it,figuring I couldn’t hurt much more than I was. I was on the machine for about 10 minutes total. I tried different positions,even sitting. When I was done I felt so much better! My fibromyalgia pain was considerably less for about 2 weeks. I wish I had the $ and the space for one
