Hi,
at first I was going to ask about Graded Exercise Therapy but then found it roundly disapproved-of. Then I was going to ask about Pacing but Pacing seems related to lifestyle rather than just exercise.
What I'm after are the do's and don't's of reintroducing exercise "from cold" i.e. when you've completely quit exercise for some time. For example:

- does the CFS community generally recommend reintroducing exercise?
- how frequently should you start exercising initially?
- do you increase frequency of exercise or duration? or both?
- at what rate do you increase frequency/duration of exercise?
- are there any good exercise log/spreadsheet templates for tracking progress (or lack of)?
