Livestrong at the YMCA Flexibility, Balance and Squat Training

I filmed this video on the fly for one of our members who wants more practice at home. The audio isn’t the greatest because I didn’t have my microphone but the content is good. I’ll film another Livestrong at the YMCA video with better sound next week.
While studying to become a Livestrong at the YMCA coach I learned that certain aspects of treatments leave lasting effects even after remission. Chemotherapy effects bone density which can cause osteoporosis and bone fractures. Learning proper form to safely lift weights can help rebuild what was lost. It also effects balance which is why balance training is so important for anyone recovering from cancer. Be patient and start off slowly. Take baby steps during recovery and progress as you become stronger.
