Our plan is to implement a 6 week health intervention into our clients life that encourages him to be more active. This program will start off with very moderate intensity exercise such as fast paced walking that will gradually develop into jogging. This intervention with also include a fun gym class once a week to make the program more interesting.
This 6 week intervention will be in the form of both a timetable and a training program. The timetable will inform the client about whether or not he is training today, and the training program will provide details about the type of exercise he will be doing on that specific day.
We have not received professional or medical advice, however we are aware that we need to start with simple, moderate intensity activities and then slowly progress towards a higher intensity throughout the 6 weeks. This is because of the age of our client and due to the fact that cardiovascular exercise is not currently a large part of his life.
I have obtained consent from our client for social media posts about his progress and how our intervention is going.
