Heal IBS in 6 steps(A.C.D.F.M.S) - Step4 Fitness

3 mins Read 

A person who suffers from IBS symptoms constantly experiences mood swings, irritation, depression, fear & fatigue. Following any proper routine always look like a big challenge. 


And without a proper routine, Fitness becomes even a more distant goal. IBS(Irritable bowel syndrome) becomes a mind-created monster for a person who cages this person mentally very firmly.

Fear of the unknown becomes a constant companion.

Most countries in this world had to fight freedom wars to win independence back & winning IBS out of life also needs the same. 

Somewhere we need to start building our energy against IBS.

Still, the choice will always of a person if he/she wants to live like a slave or still have strong imaginations and dreams to beat this monster and even kill it someday :).

If a person is already on stage 3 which is Diet it means he/she has set her determination Stage 1 and showing consistency in Stage 2. Then fitness journey is easy to start otherwise a person needs to start from Stage1. 

I would say that each of us in IBS at one point keeps falling at zero levels again & again.. and have to restart from Stage1. So never be worried about that. The more we become resilient to failure and easier it to quickly come back higher stage.


IBS has a lean period for everyone i.e. few brief moments where there are completely zero symptoms. The Key is to grab this opportunity and make energy in motion. Here is the road map for success

Wake up & First thing in the morning -

1. Check your energy level - Do I have little energy?  Yes 

Go for a brisk morning walk in just 5-10 mins depending on your energy. It is a major game-changer and mood uplifter. Guts love it. If not able to do so wake up and stand on your balcony/terrace and feel the cool breeze.

2. Now again check your energy level again- Have little energy? Yes 

The next step is to do Pranayam & breathing exercises. So many books say that our thought communicates to us through our breathing so the cleansing breathing process is a great way to eliminate ill/negative thoughts.  It needs to be done for 10-15 mins at least to yield true benefits. 

  • 3. Check your energy level again- Have little energy? Yes 
Do some simple stretching exercises. Stretching helps our spine to loosen up which helps in removing all unwanted laziness/lethargy or ego. It lightens up a person and he/she can start feeling cheerfulness if done on a regular basis
 
4. Check your energy level Have little energy? Yes 
A.Push up & other light exercises
B.Do Surya namaskar 

This will increase the momentum build from the above three steps & further boost the commitment and enthusiasm of a person to remain consistent. They help a person in building temptation to do it. 

And the golden tip is to try to do lighter exercises with the camera 'on' and see the difference in your level of commitment.

5. Check your energy level Have little energy -Yes  "Optional step"
A.Rope jumping 
B.Shrishanshana 
C.Handstand 

These exercises increase the blood flow in various organs of the body. Rope jumping is a complete exercise of stamina building and focus. Alone this exercise can make magic happen for a person. I have created so many videos around it where I started with 1 hop and reached 250-300 nonstop hops.

Option B & C will bring the blood flow in the brain removing fatigue and depression. But need to be cautious if a person feels nausea he should avoid it.

6. Check your energy level Have little energy?  Yes

Weight lifting

This is an advanced and optional step(for ladies) that is for building the confidence of the person and marks a start of the feeling of becoming IBS-free. 

Yes!! Say it loudly every day several times -My Gut is healthy now & I can start to lift my life without worry too much about Diaherra or other IBS symptoms.
