Cartilaginous joints have bones attached by hyaline or fibrous cartilage. The joints are further classified as primary or secondary cartilaginous joints, depending on the cartilage type involved.

Design a Programme that helps a client strengthen their bones .

Include gym machines but also free-weight resistance.

Use a variety of training methods.

The Programme has to be balanced (full body).

The programme has to include a WU, CD and stretches.

Include modifications.
