Our goal is to help patients build muscle mass and muscle strength, increase flexibility and endurance, and improve functional ability. Additional goals include reducing the severity of therapy side-effects, preventing unwanted weight changes, and improving energy levels and self esteem. A long-term objective is to help participants develop and maintain their own physical activity programs, which become a vital part of their lives after they have graduated from the LSLW programs. Research is now showing that physical activity may decrease recurrence and increase survivorship for cancer patients. Living Strong Living Well is sponsored by the Health Improvement Program. Certified fitness instructors trained in supportive cancer care will work with participants to develop a personalized program.
