Home Exercise Videos
Exercise is safe, possible and helpful for many people with cancer.
There are very good reasons for exercising. It can improve your quality of life and physical function. Regular exercise can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and help to manage cancer related fatigue.
The videos below have been created by the Trinity Exercise Oncology Team to provide guidance on getting active at home.
If you are not currently exercising or do not exercise often, start slowly using the ‘easy’ videos. Once you are more comfortable, you can begin harder videos. If you need help getting started or want to make a plan tailored to your needs, please contact your local physiotherapist.
