I have a friend who says his Thalassemia Minor is holding him back from getting bulking up and mainly getting "fit" really. What workout advice can you post here for him that I can relay back to him so he can start working out in a way that his condition will not cause problems or halt progress? Thanks.
Friend has Thalassemia Minor, Plz Help, Dont know how to work out.

First off, I'd like to say my knowledge of Thalassemia Minor is restricted to that of the first few paragraphs of the wikipedia article on it. But to me it sounds as if there isn't anything different he should do than anyone else to try to improve.
though honestly, I have no real idea.
What's his workout routine and diet look like?

ENZ: As much as I appreciate your desire to help your friend and get him through a rough time. The reading I've done on this disorder, since you've posted, suggests this is really no joke. I've found that sufferers need routine blood transfusions and the often suffer anemia, which in turn can lead to oxygen deprivation to parts of the body.
I really think this is the wrong place to search for advice for this though. The knowledge base of this forum is for the generally healthy individual.
Has your friend discussed the issue with his hematologist or other doctor? I imagine that would be the best place to start.
