Toning while taken steriods given by the doctor's.

What is the best way to tone while taking steroids medically? I have been slim most of my life until I had several surgeries in 2007 and now the doctor's have me on Prednisone I have gain 30+ extra pounds any advice?

 Prednisone is a corticosteroid, not an anabolic steroid - it impacts a different hormonal axis than what is commonly called steroids.

 It's tricky to really train for muscle or strength gain on corticosteroids, their immunosuppressant and anti-inflammatory procperties makes your body respond in unpredictable ways.

 Is there any particular reason you're on this long-term?

If your objective is to tone muscle, I suggest weight training. If you are taking prescribebed steroids, you will be able to increase your lean muscle incrediblle fast. The steroids will help you lifet and recover faster than ever before.

I would consult with a personal trainer or design a strength training program, so you are working out the correct way.

I thought that when steroids are prescribed, it's only for a week or maybe 10 days?

I have been diagnose with a disease called Neurosarcoidosis and they are stating because of the tube that they implanted in my right side I had to take Prednisone and another medication called Fluconzole that suppose to keep the bacteria from building on the tube. Originally it was prescribed only for a few weeks but after having 9 surgeries that stated that I have to take steroids long term to keep the fluid from building on my brain. I was an experiment for them they honestly had no idea what was wrong but by God lending hand they got me through it.
