The ACS also recommends the following exercise safety tips:

• Avoid public gyms if you have a higher risk of infection. This can happen if your white blood cell count is low.
• Minimize activities in which you're likely to fall, such as walking on uneven ground.
• Avoid lifting heavy weights if your myeloma affects your bones.
• If your feet are numb stick with exercises in which you're not as likely to fall. These include use of a recumbent stationary bicycle.
