Exercise Programming

Let me start by saying you can still exercise with ALS as long as you do it safely and appropriately. Unfortunately I know many people who are told not to exercise at all. All they do is sit in a chair and get worse faster. Here are some general ideas for exercise that will help to keep your muscles active but not overly fatigued.

  • Isometric with 3 second holds

  • Modified pushups at counter

  • Modified dips in a chair

  • Partial squats and lunges with hand support

  • Diaphragm breathing

  • Hand exercises

  • Additional exercises will be added later.
