How Can Personal Trainers Help Clients with Lipedema?
Fitness Professional Peggy Merrill shares information on movement and adipose tissue disorders in this presentation from the Fat Disorders Research Society. How can personal trainers and Certified Lymphedema Therapists motivate lipedema / lipoedema clients to move a little every hour rather than 'chunk' our exercise time into the traditional daily workout?
- Urge clients to move in little "snacks" throughout the day - it adds up!
- Model proper seated posture and methods to vary posture to loosen tight muscles and strengthen core - clients can reduce soreness and tightness with posture changes.
- Her favorite types of exercise for lipedema are: walking, water exercise, Qi Gong, Nordic Track, and strength training.
