Stay Active, Avoid Overdoing It with the Cancer Exercise App
Research shows that exercise during and following cancer treatment is one of the most important things you can do. It will reduce your fatigue, increase muscle strength, endurance, and energy, and improve anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and quality of life. Exercise even reduces the risk of cancer coming back and your risk for other cancers.
However, it's also critical to avoid pushing yourself too hard, as overdoing it can actually be counterproductive and slow down your recovery. That's why the Cancer Exercise app is designed to provide you with the perfect balance - an informative, impactful program rooted in science.
The app's personalized exercise prescriptions follow American College of Sports Medicine guidelines, incorporating 3 days of aerobic activity and 2 days of resistance training per week. This carefully calibrated regimen is tailored to your unique cancer history, treatment status, fitness level, and fatigue to challenge you in a safe, effective way.
The user-friendly Cancer Exercise app makes it easy to log all your workouts, allowing you and your healthcare team to monitor your overall activity level. The app also provides post-workout recovery recommendations, emphasizing the importance of adequate rest to avoid overtraining and further fatigue.
To help you stay on track, the app's "Progress" tab allows you to easily track your fitness improvements over time. Celebrate your small victories - the Cancer Exercise program is designed for slow, steady progress, the healthiest approach for cancer survivors.
The key is finding the right balance between getting beneficial exercise and allowing your body time to recover. With the guidance of the scientifically-backed Cancer Exercise app, you can reduce fatigue, improve your quality of life, and stay active without risking setbacks in your healing.
