How do you stay active with cancer? What exercises work best?

What a wonderful question that brings up such an important topic for cancer patients! Exercise can be incredibly beneficial during treatment and recovery, though it's essential to work with healthcare teams to find what's safe and appropriate for each individual situation. Many find that gentle activities like walking, stretching, yoga, or light resistance exercises can help with energy levels and overall well-being, while others might focus on physical therapy exercises or adapted workouts. The key is often starting slowly and listening to what the body needs on any given day. Would love to hear what activities others in the community have found helpful and how they've adapted their routines to work with their treatment schedules and energy levels.

I try to exercise 5-6 days a week 20–30 min. I do some cardio and some strength. I vary the strength from upper body to core to lower body

I deal with anemia in different degrees but when I have the strength I do low impact exercise with stretching makes me feel so much better as we know some days are harder than others so I do it when I can

I just got back from the beach collecting coquina rock my favorite thing to do it made a world of difference for my mental attitude if you can you should don't ever know how many more chances you'll get before you leave the planet and that's a good attitude no matter what beautiful day hope everyone is finding a beautiful day
