exercise
I really like cycling, swimming and walking. It is not only a great opportunity to exercise, but also a very fun way to spend my free time! Above all, exercise helps me stay healthy!
Do you know that if you exercise often, you help yourself get a strong, healthy body? Exercise is good for your heart and helps you gain strong muscles, bones and joints. This way, you are protected from bleedings!
I like swimming
Swimming is a great exercise for us who have haemophilia. When swimming, you train all the muscles in your body and this helps them get stronger. This is very important because strong muscles protect your joints from bleeding!
You can swim whenever you want, even in winter. You just need to join a swimming pool, as I have!
Swimming is also a lot of fun! You can play many water games with the other kids and if you practice often, during summer at the beach, you will be the best swimmer of all!
My favorite exercise is swimming. I love doing long dives and learning to swim fast, like Olympic champion Michael Phelps and Greek European champion Giannis Drymonakos!

I don’t dive from
great heights.
If I get tired during swimming, I get out of the water immediately.
