    Research suggests that cardio-based aerobic exercise can be an effective way to curb fibromyalgia symptoms, including pain, fatigue, anxiety and depression. If patients prefer group workouts, they can choose from a variety of low-impact dance-based aerobics classes, step classes, spin classes, kickboxing classes, and more. If the patient prefers solo workouts, he or she should try treadmill walking, elliptical training, or even roller-skating, hiking or biking.
