Violation:
Rule 5: Asking for medical or injury advice is not allowed
If you're sick, hurt, or injured you should be getting help and/or advice somewhere else - preferably from a doctor. While people in Fittit might have similar conditions as you, not a single person will be able to examine you personally or understand your specific situation, and it's very hard to validate credentials over the internet. You should instead find a professional with proper schooling and experience who can examine and treat you in person. General Practitioners might not be the best for sports-related issues, so it is recommended that you find a Sports Medicine doctor or a Physical Therapist.
Prohibited topics include, but are not limited to:
- training advice with a known medical condition
- training advice specifically involving an injured body part
- diagnosis of pain (unless accompanied by a form check video)
- recommendations for how to rehab an injury or strain
- "general experience" posts asking about other people's experiences with a particular injury, treatment method, surgery, etc
Posts on these topics are considered requests for medical/injury advice and are not allowed. Posts seeking training advice that excludes an injured body part are similarly not allowed, as they are covered by this FAQ entry.
If you would like help identifying or correcting a painful movement, consider posting a form check.
If you post a form check and there's something wrong with your form; r/Fitness can help with that. If your form is perfect, there's something wrong with your body and you need to see a doctor
Wondering if you hurt yourself or just experiencing normal soreness? See this FAQ entry. If you want generic "injury" advice, please read the FAQ entry on it.

Listen to your doctor.
The doctor said no workouts that require a lot of exertion or cause me to hold my breath/strain, so I'm looking for workouts that will still increase muscle mass & tone without that type of breathless exertion if possible
There isn't one
