CancerFit

CancerFit®

For people going through cancer treatment or recovery, the thought of working out may seem overwhelming. But more and more research is proving that exercise has many benefits for cancer patients, including:

  • Enhances mood and reduces anxiety
  • Improved ability to perform daily tasks
  • Improved cardiovascular endurance and muscular strength
  • Reconditions lymph systems compromised by surgery or radiation
  • Reduced fatigue, pain and nausea
  • Refocuses energy from illness to wellness

Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation proudly partners with the Cancer Fitness Institute to offer the CancerFit® program, which provides cancer-specific exercise instruction and encouragement for cancer patients, whether newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, or in remission.
