These are the important “tips” CHOP provides with the strength exercises: • It is okay to add new strength training exercises to your routine. You should do so slowly and know that working new muscle groups might make you sore again. If you are unsure what exercises to add you should consult with a trainer or physical therapist. • You do not need to be able to perform all sets and reps in the first few weeks. Try to slowly build repetitions and resistance used in strengthening program over time. • It is important to perform strength training slowly to maintain good form a prevent injuring yourself. • If you are unsure how to perform strengthening exercises then you should consult with your physician, a trainer or a physical therapist.
