As all post-transplant patients know, exercising outdoors can be a daunting task because of the danger of too much sun exposure. To solve this issue, Jerry wears lots of sunscreen, a sun-blocking hat, and often works out using a medicine ball somewhere in the shade. Working with a weighted medicine ball gives him the flexibility (literally!) to move his workouts out of direct sunlight and into the shade when necessary, allowing him to enjoy a beautiful day outside while protecting his skin from any harm. As Jerry likes to say… no excuses! Get outside and exercise to live, breathe, and succeed with cystic fibrosis!
