Cancer Exercise Specialists

In high school, take physical education classes, join sports teams, and focus on becoming as healthy and fit as possible by exercising regularly and eating well. Consider joining a local health club, which will allow you to stay fit but also observe fitness professionals at work (including those who specialize in exercise for cancer patients). Ask your health or physical education teacher to arrange an information interview with a fitness professional. Try to get a part-time job at a health club or even with a cancer exercise specialist working in private practice. Check out the following journals, blogs, and association resources to learn more about fitness, exercise therapy, and cancer.
