‼️ Exercise is not only fundamental to general health but especially vital for individuals facing rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) like #lupus.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), physical inactivity is a significant global health risk, underlining the importance of staying active for overall well-being.
👩⚕️ EULAR, recognising this critical link between physical activity and health, has taken proactive steps by convening a task force to study the impact of lifestyle behaviours, including exercise, on RMDs.
Their evidence-based recommendations emphasise the undeniable benefits of exercise for individuals dealing with RMDs, including lupus ⬇️:
1️⃣ Engaging in regular exercise not only promotes general health but also directly impacts RMD symptoms and progression. It's a win-win for your health!
2️⃣ Exercise significantly improves pain, fatigue, function, and overall quality of life for individuals with RMDs like lupus. Your efforts today can yield a better tomorrow.
3️⃣ Try to avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Health professionals should urge individuals with RMDs to steer clear of prolonged physical inactivity, as sedentary behaviour is linked to detrimental health effects in both the general population and those with RMDs.
4️⃣ Aim, at least, for that moderate intensity! Aerobic and strengthening exercises, performed at the right levels, can truly make a difference in managing lupus and its effects on your body.
5️⃣ Remember, it's never too late to start. Exercise is safe and a step towards enhancing your health, even if you've been less active before. Every step counts!
6️⃣ Whether in a group or alone, find what works best for you. The community and support can make a difference, but what matters most is finding what motivates you to keep moving.
🦋 If you're dealing with lupus, know that exercise can be a game-changer for you too, especially for managing symptoms and enhancing your quality of life.
📷 Embrace the power of exercise in managing lupus and share your journey using #kicklupus.
Let's inspire and support each other towards a healthier and more active life despite the challenges of lupus! 💪

Physical activity (PA) is crucial for everyone, but it holds even greater importance for individuals dealing with lupus and other chronic autoimmune diseases.
Lupus presents unique challenges, and maintaining an active lifestyle can significantly impact the well-being of those living with this condition.
🔵This week, let's highlight the unique benefits of physical activity for individuals with lupus:
1️⃣ Management of Chronic Conditions: 💪 Regular physical activity can help prevent and manage comorbidities like cardiovascular risk and osteoporosis.
2️⃣ Pain Management and Mobility: 🏃Exercise has been proven to enhance joint flexibility, reduce pain, and improve mobility in patients with lupus.
3️⃣ Mental Health and Coping:🧘♀️ Exercise can be powerful tool for managing mental health issues like depression and anxiety.
4️⃣ Maintaining Healthy Weight: ⚖️ Regular physical activity can aid in weight management and contribute to a healthier body mass index, which is crucial for managing lupus symptoms effectively.
5️⃣ Improving Fatigue Levels: 🏋️ If you live with fatigue, include exercise as part of your treatment!
6️⃣ Enhancing Bone Health: 🦴 Exercises can improve bone density, helping to mitigate the risk of osteoporosis.
7️⃣ Empowerment and Self-Efficacy: 🌟 Achieving fitness milestones and goals can boost self-efficacy and provides a sense of accomplishment and confidence.
🔴 For individuals with lupus, it's essential to work with healthcare professionals to design a personalized exercise plan that takes into account their specific symptoms, limitations, and overall health status. While staying active is beneficial, the type and intensity of exercise should be tailored to the individual to ensure a safe and effective approach to managing lupus.
That is why we, in collaboration with certified physical therapists, have created a 𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺. Designed in five levels, this program has received endorsement from renowned European Lupologists. Check it out now! ➡️ www.lupus-europe.org/me-lupus/
🌈 Your journey to improved well-being can begin with us!
Let's #kicklupus together!💪
Always consult a healthcare provider before beginning any exercise regime

Last Monday, we held an Interim Review Meeting online with our National Members. We were thrilled to see so many familiar faces! 😃
During the meeting, we gave an update on the progress of Lupus Europe initiatives and discussed priorities for 2024. We were also delighted to hear from our members about the great activities they are undertaking in their own countries and communities.
We were astonished by the passion and commitment of our members, and we are grateful for their continued support of Lupus Europe. We know that together, we can support each other as we work towards a fulfilling life for all people with lupus in Europe, until we have reached a world without lupus💪.
We want to thank everyone who attended the Interim Review. Your participation and contributions were invaluable. We also want to remind you that our communication channels are always open. Do reach out to us whenever you need anything!
Together, we are stronger 🙌
