Remember, regular exercise can reduce stress and give you more energy. There is also strong scientific evidence that being active can help people with cancer:

- Reduce anxiety
- Improve depression
- Reduce fatigue
- Improve quality of life during and after cancer treatment
- Prevent or improve lymphoedema
- Improve general physical functioning

We hope you enjoy it!
