As aerobic exercise, the first week will be RPE 4/10 for 10 minutes, the second week with RPE 4/10 12 minutes, the third week with RPE 4/10 14 minutes, the fourth week with RPE 4/10, 16 minutes, the fifth week with RPE 5/ 2 0 will be as 18 minutes sixth week RPA 10.6 will form was done 20 minutes of exercise .
