      Exercises for kidney patients 

      Physical activity is important and can improve your quality of life. Very short and simple exercises which are carried out on a daily basis or several times per week, can support you and help make you feel more balanced.

      It is important to adjust sport and daily activity to your age and comorbidities. Please start slowly and every once in a while increase your workout until you reach our advanced exercises.

      We have prepared exercise videos for light physical activity at home for you. With motion pictures and text instructions you can inform yourself how to strengthen your muscular system.

      Please consult your attending physician before carrying out the exercises.

      Many people with renal failure say that exercise was the key to helping them feel "normal" again after they started dialysis treatments. The choice of exercise depends upon how fit you are and what you were able to do before you needed dialysis.

      Research has shown that a regular exercise program, even if it is a limited one, not only can make you fitter, but also significantly improve your quality of life.(1) Walking, swimming and cycling are all recommended to help keeping you fit. Some people also find yoga classes to be very helpful. There are lots of choices available to you. Look around for local groups you can join, and don’t forget to ask your local Kidney Patients Association.

      Before beginning any exercise program, please consult your doctor for approval so that they can determine the "right" kind of exercise for you. The exercise program should meet your special needs and interests.
