Secondary	six minute walking distance	The six minute walking distance is measured using six Minute Walk Test which is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.; The tools are used include 30 meters corridor,2 cones,stopwatch,chair,mechanical lap counter and sphygmomanometer Number of participants are 60 females.	it will be measured after 12 weeks
Secondary	The fatigue severity scale(FSS)	The FSS questionnaire contains nine statements that rate the severity of your fatigue symptoms. Read each statement and circle a number from 1 to 7, based on how accurately it reflects your condition during the past week and the extent to which you agree or disagree that the statement applies to you.; A total score of less than 36 suggests that you may not be suffering from fatigue.; A total score of 36 or more suggests that you may need further evaluation by a physician.; Number of participants are 60 females.	it will be measured after 12 weeks
