While their MS may not improve, they can benefit their hearts, lungs, skin and mental awareness with no loss to their neurological function. The development of a specific exercise program begins with the realisation that there are different kinds of exercises. Each type has its own purpose and the exercise type is chosen by the goal desired.
Aerobic exercise involves movement, smooth movement which raises the respiratory and heart rate.
However, it is important to realise that getting in shape is a long term goal and cannot be accomplished in one sitting. This perceived exertion is the training level utilised over time to reach the final goal of aerobic fitness. If the individual is significantly fatigued following the exercise event, they have exerted too hard or too long. Thus the session needs to be individualised each time according to how the person feels at that time. There are many types of aerobic exercises which may be chosen by the physical capacities of the individual.
