Don’t miss Exercise as a Cancer Survivor on Thursday, March 31 at 6 PM, part of our Survivorship Series, presented by Heather L. Studwell, MS, OTR/L and Kelly Herzog, MS, of Greenwich Hospital. This presentation will offer tips for establishing a safe and effective exercise routine post-treatment.
Exercise helps to improve not only your physical health, but also your mental health during every phase of treatment. The American Cancer Society recommends adults should get 150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75-150 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity each week or a combination of these. Getting to or exceeding 300 minutes is ideal.
Examples include:
Moderate Intensity –
