Ibs

The best exercises for IBS are low-impact aerobic activities. This type of exercise can relieve stress and reduce inflammation.

Overall, Dr. Hendriks says that people should not confuse low-impact aerobic activity for easy activity— it can still be high intensity.

For example, in a HIIT class, change jump squats to squats with heel raises. But she says if you are passionate about these forms of exercise, you can always modify the activity. Besides walking, other examples of low-impact exercise include cycling, pilates, or swimming.
