The Houstonian Club Offers Tailored Fitness Options for Women Affected by Breast Cancer

The Houstonian Club offers expert guidance on how exercise can reduce risk and boost recovery for women affected by breast cancer.

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, October 22, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Houstonian Club is highlighting the importance of physical activity, not only as a way to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer but also as a supportive measure for those currently undergoing or recovering from treatment.

Located in the heart of Houston, The Houstonian Club is a premier fitness and wellness center offering sessions with personal trainers who specialize in working with women affected by breast cancer.

The Benefits of Exercise
"There is plenty of research showing that being physically active reduces the risk of many diseases and has shown to decrease recurrence of breast cancer," says personal trainer Shantelle Weichers, MS, LAT, ATC, BCS at The Houstonian Club. "For women who are currently undergoing or have recently received treatment, it is also a great way to lessen anxiety and help relieve many of the side effects."

According to the American Society of Clinical Oncology, exercise can ease fatigue and joint pain, strengthen bones, improve physical function, prevent neuropathy, and improve sleep.

What Types of Exercise are Best?
When working with women affected by breast cancer, Weichers usually begins with functional movement exercises to increase mobility and ease any discomfort. According to the personal trainer, the only limitations on movement are those imposed by a doctor.

"I always encourage my clients to move their bodies daily and often," says Weichers. "I motivate them to get out and move. Strength training once or twice weekly benefits joint and cellular health while cardiovascular training is important for the heart, lungs, and mental health."

How Much Exercise is Recommended?
Weichers stresses that women should consult their doctors before beginning any exercise routine. Once they are given medical clearance, she recommends at least two to five hours a week of moderate physical activity or one to two and a half hours of intense physical activity. She says, "The best outcomes are seen in people who are consistent with activity."

How to Keep Motivated
According to Weichers, one of the hardest parts of staying physically active is staying motivated. When working with clients she tries to switch up the exercise routine and make things fun.

"The Houstonian Club offers several different types of exercise and mobility classes, and there is never an excuse to do the same thing twice if you don't want to," says Weichers. "Yoga, Pilates, swimming, and resistance training are all great forms of exercise. Consistency, setting goals, and keeping things interactive and fun are all important to staying motivated."
