Webinar Audio: One Step at a Time: Starting Exercise After a Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Breastcancer.org PodcastShow Notes
This bonus episode is the audio of Breastcancer.org webinar.
Exercise could change your life — at any age.
Physical activity can reduce your risk of developing breast cancer, and it may lower the risk of the cancer coming back if you've been diagnosed. Exercise also has many benefits for people living with metastatic breast cancer.
While evidence shows there are many ways exercise can boost your mental and physical health, we know it isn't always easy to do. This webinar will help inform and motivate you to get moving.
Patients, caregivers, advocates, and healthcare providers can watch this webinar to:
Understand how much exercise you really need to get the benefits of working out
Learn what types of exercise are safe and recommended
Hear the latest guidelines on lymphedema and exercise
Discover simple ways to begin or return to physical activity
Hear answers to common exercise concerns
Get tips on equipment, sneakers, and low cost exercise resources
You can also try a free guided workout led by a certified cancer trainer at the end of the webinar.
Learn more about exercise and breast cancer, and try our series of workout videos.
