Welcome to Episode 26 of the Movement Logic Podcast! In this episode, Sarah discusses her experience with cancer treatment, and the guidance (or lack thereof) around how and when to exercise. She covers:

• The current exercise recommendations for people going through cancer treatment
• The most recent research around strength training and cancer treatment, specifically chemotherapy
• What going through chemotherapy is like, and how it can be difficult to figure out what to do when in terms of exercise
• Her personal experience using strength training during treatment and how it changed everything for the better
