@TomHulsey Congratulations Tom! Can't wait to get our copy. Thank you for all you do to support other cancer survivors. #makinganimpact #strongerthancancer

[Kourage Health @KourageHealth]

@workoutcancer @DR_SantaMina @CiaranFairman Program accessibility and affordability is key. Ideally, healthcare providers prescribe an exercise intervention as an integral component of the patient's treatment plan thus increasing participation and adherence. We have a proven model if patient care is top priority.

"I had to do something to help my body fight this cancer. I would exercise before chemo and noticed I had less nausea, more energy and actually wanted to eat. I just felt better, even started walking without my oxygen tank." -Max #WorldLungCancerDay #ExerciseOncology #Survivor

Another great way to incorporate exercise into your diagnosis! “Sport is a remedy — a prescription that every doctor should be giving their patient when they get a diagnosis.” https://t.co/Ck1ebuJ4JY

@_sarahweller @COSAoncology @ACSMNews @CurrentOncology It is way past due! We have been prescribing exercise for cancer patients since 2001 and at NO CHARGE to the patient. Over 21,500 physician referred patients. Over 500,000 exercise sessions. #changinglives #smallbutmighty #standardofcaremodel #nonprofit #exerciseoncology

@NicoleStoutPT @KarenPhysio @CBarnesPT @paulthepookster This works! We have successfully integrated #FitStepsforLife into several cancer centers. Patients are exercising before their treatments and love the convenience. Many patients have expressed improvements in nausea, peripheral neuropathy, fatigue, depression, and chemo brain!

Light to moderate exercise every day can help you feel better and improve energy levels. Research continues to prove that exercise can also help reduce cancer related fatigue. #exerciseoncology #keepmoving #everystepcounts https://t.co/e9PLsb0ZVL

"By being physically active instead of sitting and resting, you will actually help prevent fatigue and maintain alertness."
