The power of exercise, including resistance training, cannot be overstated.

Greetings from an American expatriate inTaipei, Taiwan! After a prostate cancer diagnosis, I’ve had a TURP procedure, radiation, and hormone shots and had a weight gain around the waist. In other words, I don’t look like a fat guy, I look like a not-fat guy with a big stomach. I’ve just started adding Qigong exercises to my regimen that includes weightlifting. It’s harder than it looks from a distance. Let’s see how it goes! BTW, my PSA # is good and my testosterone is improving, so I’ll hopefully see some of that abdominal weight disappear like magic! Yes, I’m tweaking my diet, too. I believe that you doctors do your part and we patients need to hold up our end.

I had no idea my Eligart hormone therapy contribute to many of my ills you mentioned. 66 yo feeling like 75yo. I went to PT for lumbar stenosis. It felt good. But I didn't know that I should regularly do resistance training. It makes sense now that I listen to this video. Many thanks. Every time I listen to you I hold my breath because you make logical deductions from diverse outcomes. I recommend my group to visit your videos often.

I have been on camcevi (42mg 6 months) with abiraterone (1000mg daily) for 1 year I gained muscle mass through intensive exercise.

This is an excellent video on need for exercise especially if you are on Hormone Therapy.

[edelkins]

Would it be possible for you to show a series of weight lifting exercises that would be adequate? Some of us don't have access to trainers. Bless you for this series!

I live in a very remote area. I am an outdoor guide who guides people on extreme outdoor activities. It is all very physical. The chances that I'll loose all that is very high on hormone therapy. But I have no issues with weight training and extreme hiking and climbing during treatment IF I can get out of bed. But being in this remote area, a physical therapist is completely out of the question. I have also had a previous bout with depression. Yet another reason hormone therapy gives me pause,

Im a 52 yr woman and oh my this is soooo true! I refuse hrt. I weight train and yoga as well as cardio 5 days week. It is so very important. Even a week away you get flabby and weak

I keep telling folks on fb, exercise, heart healthy living. A must, lucky for me I always enjoyed exercising. Ty Doc's

[keiththompson]

Question: Can exercise actually increase testosterone, and further fuel the cancer?

[richardkremmen]

That's a really, really great vid, thanks!

[matthewmartin]

I was never told ANY of these things! I don't understand why.

[johnnikula]

Will I be able to play handball as well as weightlifting with my regimen of lupron. Just asking, I’m not there yet but I may be in the near future.

Still no adequate replacement for ADT? Given the damage it does to men, one would think this would be a priority. Perhaps newer PSMA-targeting therapies with anti-PC properties, such as Pluvicto, can fill a portion of the ADT space.

[johnhazelton]

Why wasn’t I told about this 4 years ago

[riyasinghania]

Do you still recommend weight or resistance training when patient was diagnosed for osteoporosis even before starting the harmonal therapy (zytiga)?

[colfer]

Instead of weight lifting cant you judo press ups?

[johnprice]

would creatine supplemental help minimize muscle loss?
