What this will look like - Your 12-week journey

  2. Week 1: Health assessment and goal setting

    Your programme starts with a detailed appointment with a Clinical Exercise Physiologist.

    This session includes:

    • a health and lifestyle discussion where we talk about your medical history, current health, daily activity, and what you would like to achieve
    • simple physical and wellbeing checks to understand how you move, your current fitness, and how you are feeling
    • goal setting where we agree realistic and personal goals for your programme

    This information helps us create an exercise plan that is safe and suited to you.

  4. Weeks 2 to 11: Supported exercise sessions

    Over the next ten weeks, you can attend up to two supervised exercise sessions each week. Sessions are led by Clinical Exercise Physiologists and supported by postgraduate students.

    Your programme may include:

    • cardio exercise such as walking, cycling, or step exercises
    • strength exercises using weights, resistance bands, or your own bodyweight
    • functional exercises to improve balance, strength, and confidence in everyday movements
    • adapted exercises for wheelchair users or people with reduced mobility

    Your programme is reviewed regularly and adjusted as your strength and fitness improve.

  6. Week 12: Review and planning ahead

    In your final week, you will:

    • repeat some of the health and fitness checks to see how far you have progressed
    • have a review appointment to talk through your achievements and next steps

    Together, we will create a plan to help you stay active after the programme ends. This may include:

    • joining local or community exercise groups
    • returning to the LJMU CEP Clinic for further support
