Introduction - The Program
This program has been developed by an Exercise Physiologist to provide individuals at all fitness levels with a comprehensive exercise program that can be completed at home or wherever you feel most comfortable. It is designed to use your own body weight so very limited equipment is required.
The Beginner Program is designed for those who have a basic level of fitness (that is, they are able to walk comfortably for 30 minutes) or those who have completed the pre-beginner program.
If you are unsure of your fitness level we strongly recommend that you consult your doctor. To start, complete one session of the Pre-Beginner Program and if you find it too easy you may wish to move on to the Beginner Program.
IMPORTANT: Always consult a qualified medical professional before beginning any nutritional program or exercise program. The exercise suggestions are not intended to substitute for proper medical advice. Diabetes WA assumes no responsibility for injuries suffered while practicing any exercise program. If you have any chronic or recurring conditions such as high blood pressure, neck or back pain, arthritis, heart disease etc., please seek your physician's advice before starting any new exercise program.
Benefits of Physical Exercise
This exercise program is tailor to improve both cardiovascular and musculoskeletal endurance and fitness. Exercise programs should contain both light resistance exercises and exercises that will increase heart rate at a safe level according to your fitness.
