Explanation of Graphics
FOUR PILLARS
Flexibility: Ability to move joints well enough to prevent injury through a full range of motion.
Aerobics: Increases breathing and heart rate; also known as “cardio.”
Balance: Encourages functional movement to prevent falls. Important for safety, especially if experiencing neuropathy.
Strength: Increases coordination and ability to move weight — bodyweight or other. Form is always more important than weight!
INTENSITY LEVELS
Very Low: Focused on moving slowly and breathing deeply. An excellent starting point or a restorative activity to combine with other workouts.
Low: Involves light activity that doesn’t feel hard; it may not change your breathing pattern or make you sweat.
Moderate: Gets your heart pumping but will generally allow you to carry on a normal conversation.
High: Requires endurance and may be intense enough that normal conversation may not be possible.
