MEN AND WOMENS HEALTH, TRAINING FOR FUNCTION MOBILITY and MEDICINE
MEN AND WOMENS HEALTH, TRAINING FOR FUNCTION MOBILITY and MEDICINE
Personalized training specific to those who have or had a cancer journey.
All programs are based on where you are at in your cancer journey, type of cancer, type of treatment, physical abilities and/or limitations. Exercises will be adaptable and can be modified on the spot.
Pre-Treatment - Exercise programs are created to help improve cardiovascular health and muscle strength to prepare the body, mind and soul for the journey ahead
During Treatment - Low level exercise programs. Must be at least 6 to 8 weeks post-surgery, and may require physician approval.
Post Treatment - Low to Moderate level exercise programs. Must be at least 6 to 8 weeks post-surgery
Exercise Benefits
Enhanced Treatment Tolerance
- Properly prescribed, regular exercise helps cancer patients better tolerate the physical stress and side effects of treatments
- Patients who exercise often experience fewer treatment-related complications
Reduced Treatment Side Effects
- Exercise has been shown to alleviate common side effects of cancer treatments, such as fatigue, nausea, and pain
- It can also help prevent or minimize issues like muscle wasting and joint stiffness, which are often associated with prolonged periods of inactivity during treatment.
Immune System Support
- Exercise has a positive impact on the immune system by promoting the circulation of immune cells and enhancing their activity. This can potentially help the body better defend itself against cancer cells and infections, especially during a time when the immune system might be compromised due to treatments.
Psychological Well-Being
- Regular exercise has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression and improve overall emotional well-being
- Boosts mood and promotes a sense of accomplishment, which can be particularly important during the challenging journey of cancer
Improved Treatment Outcomes
- Regular exercise may enhance the effectiveness of certain cancer therapies by increasing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tumor cells. This, in turn, could make tumor cells more susceptible to treatment

Functional Movement and Mobility
There is a natural regression in the human physical condition that happens with illness or age.
Muscle weakness, loss of mobility, balance, and coordination not only increases the risk of injury and falls. Other consequences include:
- Progression of chronic diseases including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer
- Circulatory Problems
- Osteoporosis
- Depression due to isolation
- Loss of independent living
Already Deconditioned? Research has shown improvement with as little as 1 hour/week of properly prescribed exercise.
Exercises can be done even if using a mobility aid.
Do you have exercises prescribed by a Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist?
Bring your prescribed exercises and I can assist and support your progression by ensuring you are using proper form and equipment.

Exercise for General Health Improvement
Are you generally healthy and just want support to start an exercise program, or learn how to properly use equipment? Perhaps you are uncomfortable in a public gym environment.
The Second Wind Exercise studio is private, small, quiet, and comfortable. It can be just you and I, or up to 3 other people.
All of my sessions are small and personalized. You get the benefit of having an attentive, knowledgable trainer with every session.
