Breast Cancer Patients and Survivors Benefit from Strength Training and Cardio Exercises with Morris County NJ Fitness Trainer

Breast cancer patients and survivors can recover from treatments faster and improve their health by proper strength training and supervised exercises with certified personal trainer and fitness expert Carey Yang in Morris County, New Jersey.

Diagnosed and treated with breast cancer is a devastating experience. Breast cancer patients and survivors may be feeling down and out. “By proper strength training and supervised exercise with a certified personal trainer, cancer patients can recover faster can cancer survivors can improve their health,” says Carey Yang, Morris County NJ #1 in-home personal trainer.

Yang is the owner and master personal trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC — a leading in-home personal training and weight-loss management company serving and helping clients in Morris County, Sussex County, Passaic County, Essex County and Somerset County areas in New Jersey.

Current research provides promising evidence that exercise training is a well-tolerated and safe intervention that can mitigate several common treatment-related side effects, including fatigue, deconditioning, nausea, anxiety, and loss of muscle strength.

Over the past decade, exercise has emerged as an integral aspect of cancer survivorship and preventing or treating the late effects of therapy. Similar to during therapy, clinical trials in this setting have provided strong evidence that exercise is a well-tolerated and safe intervention associated with significant improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, fatigue, and quality of life in cancer survivors.

Several landmark observational studies have provided the first evidence that regular exercise (such as brisk walking for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week) is associated with 15 percent to 61 percent reductions in the risk of mortality following a diagnosis of early-stage breast or colorectal cancer, relative to survivors who were inactive.

It is becoming increasingly evident that sedentary behavior and decreased exercise levels following a cancer diagnosis can increase treatment-related toxicities, whereas engaging in regular exercise can significantly reduce the incidence and extent of such toxicities.

The field of exercise oncology is rapidly evolving with many unanswered questions. The current evidence base provides a clear indication that exercise is an additional powerful weapon in the fight against, and recovery from, cancer.

Male Breast Cancer Survivors Find Inspiration, Support, Hope, Coping Strategies at Breast Cancer Conference Keynote

Mindful wellness expert and life coach Hueina Su was the keynote speaker inspiring and guiding nearly one hundred breast cancer patients and survivors at a breast cancer conference.

DENVILLE, NJ – April 11, 2011 – Breast cancer patients and survivors found inspiration, support, hope and coping strategies for their breast cancer journey at a recent breast cancer conference in Newton, New Jersey. The conference was co-hosted by Summit Breast Care and Beyond Horizon Coaching.

Keynote speaker at the breast cancer conference was Hueina Su, MS, BSN, CEC, a best-selling author, mindful wellness expert, certified life coach, and the president of Beyond Horizon Coaching based in Denville, New Jersey.

The conference received overwhelmingly positive response from breast cancer patients, survivors and local community. The advance registration more than doubled from originally planned. As a result, the conference has to move from Sparta Health & Wellness Center to Project Self-Sufficiency conference room in order to accommodate more than a hundred participants, staff and vendors.

“I’m honored to be in a position to inspire, help and coach breast cancer patients, survivors and caregivers through their breast cancer journey,” Su said. “Having been a registered nurse, a caregiver to family members with cancer, and having experienced a breast cancer scare myself, I know first-hand it’s a tough journey, and I’m here to help.”

Coping with the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer is a very stressful journey for cancer patients and survivors, complicated by fears, anxiety, grief, and many emotional issues. Su offered real life tools and tips to help breast cancer patients navigate the journey from diagnosis through treatment and to survivorship.

Since June 2010, Su has been leading a Mindful Wellness Coaching and Stress Management Program at Sparta Cancer Center in Sparta, New Jersey. Over 80 cancer patients and caregivers have participated and benefited from Su’s stress relief coaching program.

“Physical and emotional stress can wreck havoc in cancer patients’ immune function and healing process. Learning how to cope with stress effectively is critical for their recovery and emotional well-being. Cancer patients and survivors regain a sense of control and become more confident and resilient in dealing with cancer and other life changes through learning stress relief techniques, self-care practices and life skills,” Su said.

“The well-being of cancer caregivers and patient care staff is just as important as that of cancer patients. Having worked with cancer and other terminally ill patients as a registered nurse, I experienced first-hand the high level of stress and its negative impact on physical health and emotional well-being. This is why I wrote my best-selling book Intensive Care for the Nurturer’s Soul: 7 Keys to Nurture Yourself While Caring for Others,” Su said.

The breast cancer conference was organized by Summit Breast Care and Beyond Horizon Coaching, and sponsored by the Sparta Cancer Center, Newton Memorial Hospital, the Sussex County Cancer Coalition and Project Self-Sufficiency. Health and wellness vendors also showcased their products and services for breast cancer care.

Wellness Coach Hueina Su Speaks to Inspire Cancer Survivors to Reclaim Peaceful Power, Restore Inner Peace and Rebuild Self Confidence

Inspirational keynote speaker, best-selling author and life coach Hueina Su speaks on claiming peaceful power for self confidence, inner peace and unstoppable success at Empowerment Coaching Conference.

DENVILLE, NJ – March 25, 2011 – Lack of self confidence and inner peace is one of the root causes why many people experience overwhelm and chronic pain in their stressful lives. They pay for the consequences by their fears of failure, rejection and judgment.

Inspirational keynote speaker, best-selling author and certified life coach Hueina Su is on a mission to empower and help one million people change their negative limiting beliefs, claim their peaceful power, regain their self confidence, inner peace and achieve unstoppable success.

Su is a renowned expert in helping people restore the missing peace and balance in their stressful lives. She is a Mindful Wellness Expert, certified life coach, keynote speaker, and the best-selling author of Intensive Care for the Nurturer’s Soul: 7 Keys to Nurture Yourself While Caring for Others.

“I grew up as a painfully shy girl lack of self confidence and self esteem. There was invisible chaos overpowering me that governed my life for so long,” Su said. “I became an over-achiever, perfectionist and people-pleaser to compensate for my fears of failure, rejection and judgment.”

Su said, “Over the years, through my own trials and errors, diligent studies on my spiritual journey, and with the help of great mentors and coaches, I have learned how to tame my invisible chaos, and created inner peace, joy and success in my life. I’m finally at peace with who I am. And I’m on a mission to help other people to do the same.”

In a recent Empowerment Coaching Conference, Su shared her unique 3-R process to eliminate the root cause of stress and self-sabotage, claim peaceful power so that people can be calm, centered and confident for unstoppable success, long-lasting inner peace and true happiness.

The first “R” is “Recognize” meaning to identify one or more of the invisible chaos. “If you are not aware of the problem, you cannot find the solution,” Su said.

The second “R” is “Release” and it’s about reframing perspective, releasing the negative emotions, letting go and clearing negative energy.

“The last “R” is “Reclaim” where we reclaim and reconnect with our inner essence, who we truly are, in order to have true inner peace and long-lasting freedom from stress,” Su said. “What we need to reclaim is what I call My Inner Essence including five elements: My Inner Balance, My Inner Beauty, My Inner Wisdom, My Inner Purpose, and My Inner Power.”

Su commented, reclaiming your peaceful power is particularly important to those who are facing major challenges or setbacks such as cancer patients undergoing treatment, cancer survivors, business owners, women going through divorce or career transition.

“Cancer is one of the leading causes of death. Coping with diagnosis and treatment of cancer is a very stressful journey for cancer patients and survivors, complicated by fears, anxiety, grief, and many emotional issues,” said Su. “I have used the same 3-R process to coach cancer patients, cancer survivors and caregivers to help them navigate the cancer treatment journey and become more resilient and confident in dealing with cancer and other life changes in my Mindful Wellness Coaching and Stress Management Program at a cancer center.”

Su said, “Cancer patients and caregivers are very prone to stress and overwhelm. Research has shown that stress reduces immune function and interferes with the body’s ability to heal, so learning how to deal with stress effectively will help accelerate cancer patients’ recovery and improve their quality of life. Stress reduction and coaching have been found to improve cancer patients’ survival rates.”

“Having worked with terminally ill cancer patients as a nurse, I experienced first-hand the high level of stress and its negative impact on health and well-being. This is why I wrote my best-selling book Intensive Care for the Nurturer’s Soul: 7 Keys to Nurture Yourself While Caring for Others,” Su said.

Cancer Patients Benefit from Exercise During and After Cancer Treatment

The following article was written by Dr. Lee Jones titled "The Benefit of Exercise During and After Cancer Treatment" and originally published in Coping® with Cancer magazine, January/February 2011.

***
The therapeutic properties of endurance and resistance exercise have been recognized since antiquity. In 1995, the American College of Sports Medicine, together with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, published the first exercise guidelines to encourage increased exercise in Americans of all ages for health promotion and disease prevention.

These guidelines were based on remarkable data from epidemiological studies showing that regular moderate-to-vigorous exercise reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by one-third, whereas high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness may reduce these risks by up to 60 to 70 percent.

Unfortunately, investigation of the role of exercise following a diagnosis of cancer has received comparably less attention. In the past decade, however, examination of the role of exercise following a cancer diagnosis, a field researchers have termed “exercise oncology,” is becoming increasingly recognized as a legitimate and important field of research in cancer management.

Exercise During Therapy

Cancer therapy is associated with various degrees of damage to the cardiovascular system (lungs, heart, skeletal muscle) that also occur in the presence of significant reductions in usual levels of physical activity, which leads to deconditioning, weight gain, and loss of muscle mass. In combination, these effects dramatically reduce a person’s ability to tolerate exercise and normal activities of daily living, such as gardening, housework, and shopping, and can increase susceptibility to other conditions, like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis.

Several ongoing trials are being conducted to identify the optimal type, intensity, duration, and frequency of exercise needed to mitigate treatment late effects in cancer survivors. To address these concerns, researchers in the mid-to-late 1980s initiated the first studies to explore whether structured exercise training may be an appropriate intervention to mitigate treatment-induced toxicities and anticipated loss of cardiorespiratory fitness among women with early-stage breast cancer. Since these early studies, more than half of the exercise studies in people with cancer have been conducted during therapy.

Overall, the current research provides promising evidence that exercise training is a well-tolerated and safe intervention that can mitigate several common treatment-related side effects, including fatigue, deconditioning, nausea, anxiety, and loss of muscle strength.

Exercise After Therapy

Over the past decade, exercise has emerged as an integral aspect of cancer survivorship and preventing or treating the late effects of therapy. Similar to during therapy, clinical trials in this setting have provided strong evidence that exercise is a well-tolerated and safe intervention associated with significant improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, fatigue, and quality of life in cancer survivors.

Most of these studies have examined the effects of either aerobic training alone, resistance training alone, or the combination of aerobic and resistance training in cancer survivors. Several ongoing trials are being conducted to identify the optimal type, intensity, duration, and frequency of exercise needed to mitigate treatment late effects in cancer survivors.

A major point of interest in exercise-oncology research is establishing whether the benefits of exercise extend beyond symptom control to improving longevity in cancer survivors. Several landmark observational studies have provided the first evidence that regular exercise (such as brisk walking for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week) is associated with 15 percent to 61 percent reductions in the risk of mortality following a diagnosis of early-stage breast or colorectal cancer, relative to survivors who were inactive.

It is becoming increasingly evident that sedentary behavior and decreased exercise levels following a cancer diagnosis can increase treatment-related toxicities, whereas engaging in regular exercise can significantly reduce the incidence and extent of such toxicities.

Current guidelines recommend that cancer survivors participate in at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise (such as brisk walking or light swimming) or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise (such as jogging, running, or hard swimming) per week. However, this is considered the minimal amount of exercise required to derive health benefits. Increases in exercise beyond these levels are associated with greater health benefits.

The field of exercise oncology is rapidly evolving with many unanswered questions; nevertheless, the current evidence base provides a clear indication that exercise is an additional powerful weapon in the fight against, and recovery from, cancer.

Study Shows Postivie Benefits for Breast Cancer Survivors by Lifting Weight

A new study published shows that weight lifting can benefit breast cancer survivors in many different ways.




In fact, the study found that lifting weights under supervision may lower women’s chances of developing lymphedema, according to results that will be published in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Lymphedema is a painful and potentially debilitating swelling of the limbs that occurs when lymph fluid cannot drain from lymph nodes as it does in healthy people.



Breast cancer survivors are often told to avoid lifting children, heavy bags or substantial weight with the arm on the side of their body from which armpit-area lymph nodes were removed. Doctors feared any stress to the arm could trigger lymphedema.



But Katheryn H. Schmitz, an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and other researchers wondered if this advice left women with weakened arms and, ironically, at greater risk for lymphedema when they were not able to avoid lifting a weight.



Schmitz and colleagues followed 154 female cancer patients who had at least two lymph nodes removed in the past five years. Half of the women were randomly chosen to participate in a 13-week supervised weight-lifting program. The other half were not enrolled in the exercise program.



A year later, 11 percent of the women in the weight-lifting group developed lymphedema, compared with 17 percent of the women in the no-exercise group.



Lifting weights, under the watch of a trained supervisor, can lower breast cancer patients risk of lymphedema.
