PRE-SURGERY/TREATMENT TRAINING PROGRAMS:

The Weightlifting Exercises file should accompany every workout and is provided to explain how to safely & effectively do each exercise, and to define the verbage involved in the workout process. It is available as a .pdf (to the right) and viewable online.

Before beginning any physical activity, consult your physician.

The pre-surgery / treatment training programs were designed to prepare you physically for your upcoming surgery or on-going therapy. The program is designed to strengthen your cardiovascular, muscular and immune systems rather than to maximize performance or for appearance. For those who have never, or seldom, workout, use the beginning program to ease into workout out on a regular basis and to gain the benefits of exercise.

For those with prior workout experience and who currently train, the intermediate program will provide an appropriate level of intensity for gains in fitness without excessive overload leading to deterioration or overtraining. The program is designed to prepare you for the rigors of surgery and treatment to speed the recovery process and aid in your overall feelings of well-being and control over your own body.
