Every week, physiotherapists Colin Dunlevy and Emer OMalley hold an
hour-long drop-in exercise class for patients and former patients. Youve
got to make the exercise classes enjoyable so people will come. Its not
about fast, high intensity no pain, no gain type of exercises that you see
on television. Everybody moves at their own pace and weve lots of breaks,
says Dunlevy.
In fact, I think TV exercise programmes are destructive for people with
weight issues. The first thing we have to do is to encourage people to
change their relationship with exercise if it means hardship and struggle.
Its about starting small and keeping exercise on your daily agenda, says
Dunlevy.
Encouraging participants to consider how they can incorporate small
amounts of exercise into their day is the key; for example, walking around
the house during the ad break when watching television.
Step counters are used to monitor progress. Susan Lyons attends the
exercise classes and has found the step counter a useful way to increase
the amount of walking she does each day. Ive been going to the exercise
classes for seven or eight weeks now. Its not strenuous. We do a warm-up
and a cool-down afterwards. The movement game on the X-box is fun, she
says.
A lot of patients have to overcome pain to exercise: 90 per cent of people
in our group have some form of mechanical pain in their back, knees, feet
or hips so addressing this pain by frequent movement without overdoing it
is important, says OMalley.
Getting adequate sleep is another factor in pain reduction and exercise
frequency. Half of our group are short sleepers. When youre not sleeping
enough, it plays havoc with your appetite. Youre not in the humour for
exercise and your daily routine can be chaotic.
The dietitians at St Columcilles Hospital have scheduled fortnightly
cookery demonstrations on the same day as the exercise classes so that
people can learn about healthy foods and cooking methods before partaking
in the exercise programme.
