Living Fit! Fitness Guidelines

Physical Therapists’ Recommendations for Living Fit!

Are you ready to start living fit? Make sure you are taking proper precautions to introduce exercise into your daily routine in a safe way. As a part of the Living Fit! A Joint Effort™ program, the Living Fit! Physical Therapist (PT) Fitness Team has developed fitness guidelines for young adults with hemophilia. You should discuss these guidelines with your healthcare provider before beginning any exercise routine. These guidelines provide PT-recommended exercise routines and tips to improve your fitness regimen, including general exercise, stretching, strengthening and cardiovascular exercises. They may also help bring peace of mind and reduce worry related to increasing your activity level.

The Living Fit! Fitness Guidelines have been peer-reviewed by a panel of nationally recognized physical therapists with substantial experience in the hemophilia community and are consistent with previously published guidelines developed by the National Hemophilia Foundation's Physical Therapist Working Group.
