Start with 1 pound (0.45kg) to 13 pounds (5.9kg) weights and build up slowly with common strength exercises like bicep curls, squats, and bench presses. Try to give your body a day to rest in between every strength training workout. Shorten the range of motion if you feel it is to painful or strenuous to complete a full exercise. You can even talk to a physical therapist about the right exercise form for you to help accommodate your fibromyalgia. You may want to try activities like water aerobics, yoga, and Pilates, which can help you build strength with a lower impact to your body. Remember that the point of strength training with fibromyalgia isn't to grow your muscles or the amount of weight you can lift. It's to help keep pain away. Always start with smaller amounts of weight and progress gradually. The physical limitations caused by fibromyalgia make it especially important to give your body time to rest and recover. This goes for daily physical activity as well as work outs. Go slow when you have to and pace yourself throughout the day. Schedule time every day to let your body relax and recover from physical stress.

Many rulers have two sets of numbers. You are looking for the metric set of numbers. This side of the ruler will be labeled cm{\displaystyle cm}, the abbreviation for centimeters. It might also be labeled mm{\displaystyle mm}, the abbreviation for millimeters. Millimeters are the smaller metric units shown on the ruler by the shorter lines in between the centimeters. The other side of the ruler is the standard side of the ruler. It will show inches, which is the standard U.S. unit. If you look closely at your ruler, you will see that each centimeter is divided into 10 parts by the shorter lines. A millimeter is one-tenth of a centimeter. Note that 1 mm = 0.1 cm. Look at the other edge of the object. Identify the nearest mark to that edge. This mark will tell you how long the object is. If the edge falls on a longer centimeter line marked with a whole number, the object is that many centimeters long. For example, if the edge of an eraser ends at the line marked 7, the eraser is 7 cm long. If you are measuring to the nearest centimeter, look for the nearest line to the edge of the object that is marked with a number. This mark will tell you the nearest centimeter. For example, an eraser might fall less than halfway between the 7 and 8 cm marks. Since the eraser ends closer to the 7 cm mark, you would say that, to the nearest centimeter, the eraser is 7 centimeters long. Look at the last whole centimeter the edge of the object passes. Then, count the number of millimeters past the last whole centimeter that the object's edge goes. Each millimeter is one-tenth of a centimeter. So, to find the length, combine the number of whole centimeters and tenths of a centimeter.For example, if the edge of an eraser ends 1 millimeter past 7 centimeters, the eraser is 7.1 centimeters long.
