I am a personal trainer and just got a new client with MS Any advice for exercise program?

What kind of workout program is suitable for someone with MS?I am a personal trainer and just got a new client with MS Any advice for exercise program?
It depends on how advanced the MS is. Fairly gentle exercise to start with and they will need a combination of muscle building and cardiac.





With advanced MS one of the main problems is contration of the muscles. Keeping active to start with and having 1st, 2nd, and 3rd lines of activity will help them do what they can depending on energy levels. You might want to get some info from a physio too.I am a personal trainer and just got a new client with MS Any advice for exercise program?
Curling Exercises
That is definately a question you would have to ask his/her doctor. Ask if they can get a note that states what kind of exercises are recommended, and which ones are a no no! This way you can be certain that you wont hurt your client. Until then try play it safe exercises, or try to google Exercises for Multiple Sclerosis, and see if you can find anything. Good Luck!
