Design and Delivery

Identify approximately eight to ten specific exercises that will help your clients meet the functional goals you have identified. These exercises should take a total of 20 minutes to complete. Prepare two variations for each exercise, including an easier and a harder variation. Explain your rationale for each exercise. These exercises will make up the main part of your class. You may use instructor recommended texts, websites, your own websites (evaluate their credibility using the credibility checklist), or other resources to help identify appropriate exercises.FUNCTIONAL GOALS – Improved upper body tasks such as dressing and bathing, AND decreased fear of falling,30 mins. 1.

All of your clients are high functioning/low risk outpatients who have been referred to the program by their family physicians or cardiologists. You have been asked to design and deliver a 30-minute group exercise class that will help participants prepare for discharge.
