We suggest that you consult a physical activity specialist, because he will orient you the best in your training. Physical activity specialists have an academic formation which allow them to comprehend the subtleties of exercises and how the body reacts to training.

Generally when we think about a training program, we think about a gymnasium with all the activities related to it:

• callisthenics (push-ups, sit-ups, flexibility exercises, etc.),
• machines (rowing machine, stair step machine, etc.),
• muscular exercises (machines and dumb-bells),
• stationery bike,
• treadmill.

It is certain that these activities will develop the different components and elements related to health and fitness of your body.

We must not think that physical training is limited only to the activities mentioned. Swimmers work a lot in a gymnasium as well as in a pool. Hockey, football, soccer and basketball players have specific training programs. If the gymnasium exercises do not suit you, you have many other exercises or activities that you can do. Don’t limit your choices, be open to all new activities that somebody proposes to you. At least, try it.

Don’t forget that a good training program will allow you to work the aspects that you want to improve, while having pleasure.

The doctor will indicate if you may perform some exercise and in a certain way he or she may determine the intensity, the duration and the type of activities which are appropriate to your physical condition.
