Exercise for the less able bodied

1 March 2010 333 views No Comment

Communication the the key to training the less able bodied. Discuss exercises types fully before attempting them, make sure you have fully considered the area in which the exercises are completed. Plan for any falls, so how you might get them from the floor back to a comfortable position for example. Be very positive, only in the most severe cases can no exercise be completed at all, its just a matter of slightly adjusting exercise to accommodate the individual. Any movement is better than none, some of it may have to be assisted by the trainer (best use therabands or dynobands). Boxing for example can be very effective from a seated position. Adjust, communicate and be positive. Feel free to call Michael – HomeHealth Fitness, with any further questions on 07980 545324.
