Hello! I hope you've landed on this page as you're looking to regain control of your body following a breast cancer diagnosis. This program will help build strength not just in the upper body that can be lost following surgery and radiotherapy, but also full body strength lost from chemo and more sedentary times. The program is progressive, with the aim of challenging you to build up your fitness as you work through. It is suitable for those who have completed active treatment and have the go ahead to exercise, though some choose to join mid-way through their treatment if they feel able.
Strength training has not only been proven to overcome cancer-related fatigue but will also help protect joints and bones during and after treatment. Furthermore, as a Breast Cancer Specialist, I've designed this course to be safe for anyone experiencing lymphoedema (or at risk of it).
