survivors strength train at least two times each week.
» About 50-96% of breast cancer survivors gain fat and lose muscle
tissue. Despite the well-established benefits of exercise after breast
cancer, only half of survivors exercise regularly.
» Following PAL guidelines, the FIT2order band provides lightweight AND
progressive resistance options (based on hand position) allowing
participants to start slowly and progress intensity over time.
» The exercises are imprinted ON the band and move in a circuit
starting from the left side of the band to the right. Survivors start
with one circuit, performing 8-10 repetitions and progress to 3
circuits over time.
