"Fitness after hospital stay"

Following a six and a half week stay in the Belfast City Hospital, I left feeling weak and without energy.

Two to three months later I started a gentle fitness class in The Cancer Centre and attended weekly for three months. I found it helpful to exercise with others, all of whose stories were different to mine. Attending the classes gave me confidence to push myself a bit more and as I started to feel more energetic I felt good and more like myself and was able to do more exercise daily. Joe the trainer was very supportive and encouraging and I'm thankful for this important service which I was able to take advantage of.
