Jordan was becoming concerned about putting on weight and so we looked at some exercises that he could be doing since, due to his food sensitivities it was going to be difficult to change his diet much. Jordan likes to ride his bike, jump on the trampoline, and climb climbing frames. We decided that we would set up an exercise plan for him to do each morning before we started lessons. First he would climb up and down the steps 5 times, then do 10 bench presses, 10 chest expansions, 10 tricep curls and 10 lunges. He would jump on the mini tramp and do some more stairs in between these exercises. The aim is for him to be able to increase the reps gradually. Jordan was shown how to breathe while doing the exercises.
