Show Notes
We know from evidence-based studies that exercise improves patient recovery before and after breast cancer treatment and surgery. It improves quality of life and strengthens physical function. In this episode of the DiepCJourney® podcast we explore the benefits with Chris Fitzmaurice, a Clinical Exercise Physiologist at the University of Miami Health System. He is passionate about helping people achieve their health goals through evidence-based exercise programs and personalized guidance.
He is a Certified Cancer Exercise Trainer (CET); and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and Health Coach.
I reached out to Chris to talk to him specifically about breast cancer prehab, exercise for those currently in breast cancer treatment, but also to speak to him about getting back to exercise after breast surgery, whether from breast cancer or breast reconstruction.
Chris and I discuss how important it is for anyone to incorporate exercise into their life.
We have a common connection and friend, Dr. Jay Harness. Don't miss Chris's interview on the Cancer Fitness YouTube channel on "Exercise as a Molecular Medicine."
Chris has a robust presence on LinkedIn and Instagram with interactive videos and graphics explaining the benefits of exercise and demonstrating exercise you can do at home.
