Thank you for doing this one Zoe. I always used to walk loads andxws always known for walking so fast people couldn't believe I'd got round the shops and back in my lunchbreak. Now I struggle because of my hips and my back behind ribs. I'd love to be able to walk further again, maybe I need to think about aids to use at times to help.

Hi Mandy, you're welcome, I hope it was helpful. It sounds like it may be worth considering. Here's the previous live we did about mobility aids: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k3-rzbqKaMStl5s.html I'm always happy to have a chat, if that would be helpful zoe@nass.co.uk ~Zoë

Thank you! There are risks to weight training, but there are lots of benefits, so it's about finding the right way for you. It's worth speaking to a physiotherapist or your rheumatologist first, particularly if you have any fusions. This video gives a bit more info: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qWeuqM-dia-4ctY.html ~Zoë

Are cross trainers good for AS?

Hi, they can be, depending on your level of mobility and if you have any issues in your shoulders or hips. If you're able to, it's worth speaking to a physiotherapist or your rheumatologist. If you did try it, as with any new activity, we'd recommend starting with a small amount and then building up. I hope that's helpful ~Zoë
