A member asked:
I'm severely anemic, last time i tried to jump rope - i almost fainted. is there any low impact, but effective exercises, i could do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: If you are severely anemic (hb<7.0 g/dl) then you may need a transfusion. You should also be taking iron and ferritin. Use professional quality sources for these supplement. In regards to exercise, do things you enjoy (e.g., walking or biking). Exercise videos are available for home use (e.g., aerobics). You can also bounce or jog in place on a small home trampoline. Gradually increase endurance.
