Cancer and Exercise
We talk about exercise during and after cancer treatment.
- Use your 2.0 as a chance to rebuild, and exercise is essential to the rebuild.
- Activity before / during / after is going to make you feel better physically and psychologically
- Use it or lose it: do SOMETHING.
- Go in with the attitude of fun and trying and seeing what happens. Don’t have expectations of what you “should” do
- Move everyday. Take the stairs or walk around the block.
- Dance parties are a good way to loosen up.
- Be gentle with yourself, and listen to your body.
- Ask at your hospital for exercise resources.
- Look up YMCA Livestrong to take advantage of training and classes.
- Believe in order to access the placebo effect.
- Take it slow and easy: incremental is still progress.
