A recent query:
*One of my gentlemen was doing well with his exercise over the last few
months then went to cornwall. He had swollen legs and his son who is a GP
said to him it was due to using the weights and he shouldn't be using them
!!!!*
* I quickly booked him a face to face contact to discuss this. I feel it
was more likely due to his varicose veins and long distance travelling but I
have advised him to continue the exercise with no weights for the time being
and then we may reintroduce a 0.5 in a few weeks.*
* I thought this was a better option than him withdrawing. He had no
swelling when I saw him.*
*Is it ok to be doing the exercises without any weights?*
This is absolutely the correct decision and I agree that long distance
travelling is more likely to be the cause. But obviously the participant may
need a lot of reassurance regarding this.
If any participants have issues using the weights and are reluctant to use
them anymore then they can continue without the weights or a lower weight
and if possible re-introduce them at a later date.

What should I do if a participant has issues using the weights e.g possibly causing swollen ankles?
