Exercise
There are 3 types of exercise that will help you move toward better health:
Endurance Exercise

These are activities that get you breathing heavily, your heart thumping, and your body moving and breaking a sweat. Endurance exercise is good for your circulation and your lungs. Strive for at least 150 minutes of endurance exercise each week.
Strength Exercise

These exercises build muscles. This is very important if you have received chemotherapy or are older, and have lost or are losing muscle mass. Strength training can preserve your ability to climb stairs, get out of the car and perform many of the tasks needed for independent living. Set a goal for doing strength exercises twice a week.
Flexibility Exercise

Keep limber and avoid injury with a GOOOOOOOD STREEEEEEETCH! Make a point of stretching after you do your endurance exercise, e.g., walking, jogging, etc.

Eric's Story
After my cancer treatment, my doctor told me that I needed to get more exercise. He told me that exercise was important for my recovery. Exercise would give me more energy. It may even help my body fight diseases, including cancer! I never really liked exercising, especially exercising by myself, but I knew that I had to take action. I started taking fitness class at my local community center. This center has everything. I have tried karate, Zumba, water aerobics, spinning, yoga, and walking groups. I am getting healthier and making new friends…at the same time!
