Gentle stretching such as yoga, swimming, recumbent biking, walking, light-to-moderate resistance training, and weight lifting are suitable for a person with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). An exercise program should be set up for the individual’s needs and monitored by a physical therapist familiar with working with people with ALS.
