In addition, I would have her complete two sets of ten of standing calf raises, dumbbell shoulder press, crunches, seated dumbbell curl, back extensions, and cable pushdowns. In weeks one to three, for aerobic exercise on Tuesday and Thursday, I would have Maddie walk or run lightly, whichever she can handle, for twenty to forty five minutes. For weeks four to nine, on Monday, Maddie will focus on quads and hamstrings and calves. Mondays, she will do four sets of ten of squats and stiff leg deadlift. She will then do two sets of ten of leg extensions, leg curls, seated calf raises, and standing calf raises. On Wednesday, Maddie will work on biceps, abs and lower backs. For four sets of ten, she will do an incline bench press or a modified version, two sets of ten for preacher curls, and three sets of ten for back extensions. On Friday, she will focus on back, triceps, and shoulders. She will do four sets of ten of pull-ups or what she can manage to do and modified version, three sets of ten of cable rows and tri-extensions laying down, and two sets of dumbbell shoulder press and lateral raises. As for aerobics during week four to nine, she will continue to do a thirty second walk, then speed it up a little for five minutes, and additional minute each week on Tuesday and Saturday. On Thursdays, she will do a thirty or forty-five-minute walk. On week ten to twelve, Maddie will focus on the same targeted areas but six sets of eight of deadlifts, four sets of eight for stiff leg deadlift, and five sets of eight for seated calf raises. Wednesdays, she'll do six sets of eight of pull-ups and bench press modified, and three sets of eight for back extensions. On Fridays, she will do five sets of ten for barbell curl, and military press, which in all modified forms. Aerobically, Thursdays she will walk for thirty minute with a tid bit of added speed and Saturday, she will do a thirty-second warmed walk...
All the exercises are to be consulted with her physician first and after approval, Maddie and I can work together and work towards her health.
