Get Your Oomph Back: A guide to exercise after a cancer diagnosis

If you have had a cancer diagnosis you will probably have been told that exercise is beneficial at all stages, but not how to do this, what is safe and what is appropriate for you. Cancer rehab personal trainer Carolyn Garritt provides a practical, illustrated guide based on many years' experience and her work with Maggie's Cancer Support.

There is extremely compelling evidence to suggest that if people are physically active before, during and after cancer treatment, their outcomes are likely to be better. Their risk of recurrence (and death) is lower and their ability to deal with the myriad side effects is improved significantly. Increasingly people with cancer understand this but they are often unsure of what exercise would be best, what is safest, what would be most effective and what to avoid. This book offers very practical, targeted information to enable people to exercise in whatever way they feel ready for. It provides guidance on effective and appropriate exercise for anybody who has received a diagnosis of cancer, including those receiving active treatment and those living with incurable cancer of all types, with the emphasis on the proven benefits of exercise and activity.
