SATURDAY STRENGTH: "Staying Abreast" Exercise Book

I'm always on the lookout for helpful exercise programs for breast cancer survivors, and so when I came upon THIS website, I was pretty excited. This book was written by a breast cancer survivor, Annie Toglia, who was also a Medical Exercise Specialist.



The 111-page book addresses physical conditions and side effects resulting from mastectomy, lumpectomy, lymph node biopsy, tram flap, lat flap, breast implant reconstruction, chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy.

If you'd like to look through the book, go to the following website:

You can browse through the book, and look at sample pages. You can also order posters with the exercises on them. Many of the exercises are for patients who have recently undergone surgeries, but there is a section on "Above and Beyond" for those of us who are past the initial recovery stages. You can order the book from this website as well.
