Helping Cancer Survivors Work out - advice?

[researchjunkie]

Teaching cancer survivors cycling (spinning); what should I be aware of or cautious of during the preliminary stages?

It might help to apply the sort of care that you would use with older people. Younger cancer survivors have some of the same issues.

it all depends on the types of cancer, any surgery etc. quick fatigue is very common, aswell as tight muscles (for some). the best thing to do initially is to assess their walking first over distance, if they cope fine with that then you can gradually work up to cycling, again it depends on their type of cancer. maybe it would hurt to look up their particular type of cancer to see the full details of the stresses it had on their bodys
