Concussion effects: When your physician feels you have made a full recovery from a concussion, you should start with mild aerobic exercise, increasing progressively as tolerated. Reducing calorie intake will not be enough. Since you have experienced a mild brain injury, our recovery should be monitored by your physician or a physiatrist.

Easy does it: After a concussion, its best to slowly ease back into your routine. Don't overdo it. You have to re-train yourself to tolerate the same amount of activity you previously were capable of. If your symptoms return, then you need to stop the exercise. Its best to discuss this with your doctor.
