📚 Exercise & Breast Cancer Recovery: What the Evidence Says

A 2022 systematic review analyzed how structured exercise impacts physical fitness in breast cancer patients and survivors—and the results are compelling.

🔬 What was studied?
Researchers reviewed randomized controlled trials focusing on exercise interventions (aerobic, resistance, or combined) in women during and after breast cancer treatment.

💡 Key findings:

✔️ Improves physical fitness
Exercise helps maintain or improve:

Cardiorespiratory fitness

Muscle strength

Overall physical function

✔️ Reduces fatigue
Regular physical activity can significantly decrease cancer-related fatigue—a common and debilitating symptom.

✔️ Enhances quality of life
Participants reported better overall well-being and daily functioning.

✔️ Prevents decline during treatment
For patients undergoing treatment, exercise helps protect against physical deterioration.

✔️ Boosts recovery post-treatment
Survivors showed measurable improvements across fitness and health outcomes.

✨ Takeaway:
Exercise is not just safe—it’s a powerful supportive therapy in breast cancer care, improving both physical and quality-of-life outcomes.

📚 Exercise Education: Elevated Dumbbell Row

This month in our Functional Fitness class, you’ll see the Elevated Dumbbell Row—a great movement for building core stability while keeping the spine neutral in a prone position. As you row the dumbbell toward your side, you strengthen your back muscles while maintaining strong shoulder stability through the supporting arm. 💪

Specific Cues:
✔️ Feet shoulder-width apart
✔️ Knees bent under hips
✔️ Keep your spine neutral throughout the entire movement 👌

Oncology-Informed Notes:
Please consult your oncologist for clearance before exercising. If you are experiencing symptoms of vertigo, inform your trainer. If you have a port, do not perform this exercise if you experience any discomfort 👍👎

🕘 Class Times: Thursdays at 9:30 AM & 5:00 PM

Good morning THRIVERS!

As we wake up this morning to our driveways, walkways, and sidewalks covered in snow, lets take a moment to prepare our bodies for whats ahead.

Our Foundation Friday Class ( ) teaches us to prepare our bodies to be strong, aligned, and resilient when it comes to taking on everyday challenges (today's challenge=shoveling feet of snow).

Remember to hinge at your hips, keep your spine straight, and alternate your woodpecker positions. Be mindful about how you are moving your body, where you are lifting from, and dont forget to try and have fun/take breaks.
