Exercise Through Cancer Care | Karen Wonders | TEDxDayton

If you received a life-altering cancer diagnosis, would your first action be to hit the gym? Karen shares why exercise should become a key part of cancer treatment plans despite the barriers that make it a challenge.

I am a certified personal trainer. My dad just told me he has cancer. I am pushing him to keep exercising!

I was so strong during my chemotherapy thanks to a consistent exercise regime. I think Karen Wonders and her message speaks so much truth!!!!

[abbeyturner]

I am personally going through cancer treatments now and I have found that making myself exercise and stress every day lessens the length of days I experience my symptoms!

[oncologyrehabandwellnessre]

Couldn't agree more. The results of our cancer rehab programs couldn't be more dramatic in showing how exercise can improve the lives of cancer patients.

A dear friend of mine has been so blessed to take advantage of your wonderful program!

I'm about to start chemo for early DLBCL Lymphoma. I am hoping to be able to exercise train through the whole treatment. Thank you for sharing this video, it has helped motivate me and let me know that i can.

Though I personally don't doubt the benefits of exercise for persons with cancer, this is a very brief anecdotal talk without any stats to back it up

Thanks so much for the encouraging talk maam. Will surely try to exercise more.
