Strength and Stamina

Targeted exercise to reduce fatigue and muscle loss.

Join these sessions to maintain or rebuild your fitness, mobility and muscle strength. Moderate intensity activity is beneficial for therapy related side effects, for managing mood and improving health outcomes.

In these exercise sessions, Sarah will:

• Aim for a moderate intensity session though please listen to your body and take more rest breaks/lighten intensity as feels appropriate for your current situation
• Offer adaptions and progressions to cater for most abilities and particular considerations
• Be using small dumbbells, OR filled bottles/cans, OR a resistance band.

Waiver

Everyone’s strength and fitness journey is unique. Please approach each session with self-awareness and respect for your body’s limits. Prioritise your safety by consulting with your oncology team before starting any fitness programme.

By joining this online strength class, you accept full responsibility for your wellbeing during this and future sessions provided by our associates on behalf of Penny Brohn UK. Your attendance implies agreement to waive any claims against our associates or Penny Brohn UK, now and in the future.
