It will be suggested a daily frequency in the execution of this exercise routine. Also, stimuli and guidelines will be given for the practice of active movement (walking) so that they accumulate at least 10 to 20 minutes of this activity daily. All control and training guidelines for using the manual will be offered through an introductory lecture and subsequent weekly telephone contacts (twice a week). Participants should complete their respective program for a total period of 12 weeks and mark in the manual how often they performed the exercises.
