Strength & Courage: Exercises for Breast Cancer Survivors
If you’re ready to regain your muscle tone and mobility following breast cancer surgery, all it takes is Strength & Courage. Developed by breast cancer survivors and medical experts, the Strength & Courage: Exercises for Breast Cancer Survivors DVD strives to enhance a woman’s ability to lead an active life following breast cancer surgery.
The exercises presented in the DVD are an integral part of an effective breast cancer rehabilitation program. The program begins with very simple exercises that you can initiate one day after surgery and takes you all the way through a more rigorous stretching and weight training exercise regimen. The DVD also gives guidelines for aerobic exercise, which has been proven to reduce breast cancer recurrence.
