Last month, Lady Gaga had to cancel a few scheduled performances and postpone the European leg of her Joanne World Tour due to the chronic pain caused by fibromyalgia. According to a series of photos and videos posted to Instagram on Thursday, the singer's recovery plan includes rest and "high fashun" workouts.
In the first of three posts, Gaga and a friend pose for a mirror selfie in what appears to be a pilates studio. Gaga wears a black sports bra emblazoned with tennis pro Björn Borg's name, black and hot pink leggings, and a pink sweatshirt tied around her waist. "@bjornborg #athletic fashun can happen anywhere," she captioned the pic.

The second post is a boomerang in which the "Perfect Illusion" singer, now wearing the pink sweatshirt, performs leg kicks or, as she calls them, "high fashun leg kicks." The final post includes both a photo and video of Gaga holding a truly impressive headstand, with her hands and head propping her up and her knees resting on the backs of her arms. "@bjornborg #fashion #yoga #gyrotonic #pilates," she captioned the post.
Strength-building and, of course, "high fashun" exercises, like yoga, are an important part of Gaga's recovery. According to the Mayo Clinic, although exercise may be painful for those with fibromyalgia at first, "doing it gradually and regularly often decreases symptoms." Low-impact exercises, such as walking, swimming, biking, and water aerobics, are recommended, as are stretching, good posture, and relaxation exercises. However, it's important to always consult a medical professor and/or your physical therapist before starting a new workout routine.
The singer has experienced an outpouring of support from her fans and famous friends alike since she revealed her diagnosis while promoting her Netflix documentary Lady Gaga: Five Foot Two, in which she further opened up about her chronic pain. A few weeks ago, she thanked Beyoncé for sending her some cozy clothing items from her Ivy Park line. "Not having a good pain day. Thank you honey 🍯 B for sending me this comfy sweatshirt. Keeps me warm outside in a hammock so I can be w the trees, and the sky, and the sun and take deep breaths. Feel so lucky to have so much love ❤️" she captioned a selfie in which she wears a black Ivy Park sweatshirt.
And earlier this month, Gaga posted a photo of herself wearing a black beanie sent to her by Gigi Hadid. "Thank you @gigihadid & @tommyhilfiger for these generous gifts during my time of healing. Totally my style and so thoughtful and bad ass. My favorite combination. #tommyxgigi" she wrote.
