It is very important that a health care professional to guide you regarding exercises. Since a person with CFS suffers from post-exertion malaise, anaerobic exercises are recommended such as resistance training and stretching. Stop the exercises before you get too tired. Start slow and gradually increase the pace of the activity is the key you must remember. Daily chores such as cleaning, washing should be divided into shorter and less strenuous ones. If you avoid exercises and daily activities with the fear of aggravating your symptoms, it might worsen your disease. Choose a type of exercise/daily activity which works best for you.
