Go from diagnosis to thriving with this empowering guide to using strength training and exercise to improve your mental and physical health before, during, and after cancer diagnosis and treatment.
This groundbreaking program will show you how to use exercise and movement to:
- Recover more quickly from surgery
- Withstand chemotherapy (or other drug treatments) or radiation with fewer side effects
- Bounce back to daily life following cancer treatments
- Prevent loss of function or fitness due to treatment
- Return to work more quickly or stay at work throughout treatment
- Protect against late side effects of treatment that come years after diagnosis

Leading exercise oncology researcher Dr. Kathryn Schmitz shows you how to prepare for cancer treatment and begin regularly exercising in just 21 days using five key steps: Move, Lift, Eat, Sleep, and Log. Both informative and practical, MOVING THROUGH CANCER explains the science of healing and prevention and delivers a paradigm-shifting message for patients, doctors, and caregivers about using exercise to live with and beyond cancer.
