Exercising too unsafe, too soon, can be damaging to health. This doesn't mean you need to be sedentary - on the contrary, you should be able to start gentle and slow exercise almost immediately after returning home.

He will explain the benefits of exercise - which include mood and physical benefits - and outline a suitable fitness program for you to follow.
