I would like to take some time to post how important it is for us to help our care giving clients exercise. I know, exercise is nobody's favorite thing to do. However, exercising with our Caregiving clients can become a fun activity. There are many physical activities that we can do that are fun that will encourage our clients to exercise.
You may want to take a day out of the week and dedicate it to a short physical activity. Even if it is just pushing your client in a wheel chair around the block a couple of times. Or you can play ball with a foam basketball set. A foam basket ball will allow your client to safely catch and throw the ball without getting injured. Playing catch or basketball will be fun and safe. There is also outdoor lax wall equipment that can be used as a rebounder if your client or clients wants to throw the ball without your help.
If your care giving client or clients are not bound to a wheel chair and are able to walk, jog or run, they may feel confident in exercising with a pair of Nike Zoom T5- White and Yellow shoes. I know I always feel better exercising when I have a nice pair of nike shoes on.
