My name is Matt Cooper. I’m an accredited exercise physiologist, and this is Fitness and Function.
Before we get started, let me say that there are times when exercise is not recommended for certain populations. Any exercise program should be cleared by your doctor, and be planned and supervised by an exercise physiologist.
You might’ve heard the expression ‘exercise is medicine’. It’s used a lot by people like me - exercise physiologists - who work in the clinical space, where people who may have been diagnosed with particular pathologies use exercise to help improve health outcomes. People with type 2 diabetes, for example. Or people who are undergoing treatment for cancer. People who have significant loss of bone density. People who have had a brain injury. Pretty much any type of pathology or diagnosis can benefit from careful, individualized exercise.
