Judy: When my hgb is below 7 I find it difficult to exercise. After a transfusion I am able to exercise and build muscle mass. If his anemia is sever I can understand his inability to maintain fitness. The energy just isn't there. The muscles need oxygen supplied by red cells which are deficient. I use light weights and walk whenever able. It does get discouaging, all we can do is keep trying.
