▲ 4 r/stroke

Working out 1 year post stroke, affected side feeling weaker.

Hey everyone, I’ve posted here a bunch of times about my 3 TIAs last year in May. I’ve never been a very active person in general but lately I’ve upped my daily step count and alternate it with a 10-15 minute workout.

However, the workout (not the steps that i do on a cross trainer) often leaves my right side (affected by stroke) feeling the effects of the workout more than my left. It takes a little while to get normal again. Is this because it’s more affected by fatigue?

Is it safe to continue working out and has anyone ever experienced this?

Please advice.
