💐MAKE MOVEMENT A HABIT- Chemotherapy Edition (Part 2)💐

Have you ever thought about exercising during chemotherapy and thought, ‘I just don’t have the energy for that’? Well Here’s a strategy I often recommend: the 5-Minute Rule.

According to the American Cancer Society, fatigue is one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy. Usually that fatigue starts a few days after chemo, but gets better before the next treatment. This fatigue is often a barrier to exercise during chemo.

But movement is VITAL at every stage of cancer management, even if you feel drained So start by using my 5 minute rule....

Instead of committing to a full workout, commit to just five minutes of movement. Then commit to this 3 times a day. If you have the energy, or when you become less tired, simply add another 5 minutes whenever and wherever you can.

Seemingly simple activities can improve your function, minimise stiffness, and reduce your fatigue. Walk around your home. March in place. Stretch gently. Sit and stand from a chair a few times. Start practicing tai chi.

The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is consistency. And On your toughest days, give yourself permission to start small. Don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s...just be consistent and celebrate every win!

Remember to check your doctor AND your qualified and registered physio, as we will guide you to choose physical activity that is appropriate for YOU, as we make movement a habit even during chemotherapy.
