Challenge yourself with our 3-day full body workout for ostomates

We’ve worked with Personal Trainer, Danny Callaghan, to create a 3-day workout plan for you to incorporate into your week. Workout at the gym or at home with weighted equipment to help build strength across all muscle groups.

As an ostomate, incorporating weight training in your exercise routine might be a bit daunting. However, done properly with the right support and guidance, weight training can be physically and mentally beneficial and most of all, enjoyable!

Danny has created a 3-day workout plan for you to incorporate into your week, focussing on building strength across all muscle groups: upper body, legs, and core.

Being an ostomate himself, Danny has used exercise to help him focus on achieving goals, taking on new challenges and proving that having a stoma doesn’t have to hold you back.

Always ensure you speak with your stoma care nurse to make sure you’re ready to take up an exercise routine. If you would prefer to ease yourself in with a gentler form of exercise, check out Michelle’s Yoga Guide.

“I think it is very important having the choice of colour, it can be quite a conscious thing for ostomates if they have a bag that’s black and you wanted to wear lighter clothing, so to have the colour options there, is absolutely ideal." Danny Callaghan
