We have been told by the doctor that she is in good health. Heart and blood pressure etc. all good but due to the illness she has not become active again and seems to tire easily. I feel that she needs motivation to get on the move again and I thought with some strength training this would be possible. Would it be possible to obtain from you some idea of what type of exercise would be of benefit to her. I would be eternally grateful for any advice you can give. Thank you Ellen Dear Sir/Madam
