Summary
A Reddit user with ME/CFS and post-exertional malaise reported trying Pilates. They said it seemed a little better for PEM if they did not get too hot, with AC and fans, and if they did most of the workout lying down so blood circulated more easily; the breathing focus and taking it at their own pace also seemed to help overall. They gave no duration of illness or level of function.
