More and more scientific research is showing that regular physical activity during and after cancer treatment can help survivors. However, the side effects of cancer treatment can make it challenging to get to a gym or complete regular exercises. In this podcast, 2 fitness instructors from the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program discuss these challenges, share tips for staying physically active, and describe the sometimes surprising benefits of participating in a fitness program specially designed for cancer survivors. 

Kristin Leung is a volunteer Senior Leader in the LIVESTRONG Foundation and a LIVESTRONG at the YMCA Instructor. Rachel Dudasik is a 3-time cancer survivor and a LIVESTRONG at the YMCA Instructor Trainer and Program Manager.
