Expert Video - What exercise plan should I follow in preparation for lung cancer surgery?

Austin Moore, a physical therapist, and Ryan Maxwell, a corrective exercise specialist and personal trainer, talk about what exercise plan you should follow in preparation for lung cancer surgery. Austin describes how a plan can be scheduled and structured to comprise a variety of beneficial activities that range from low intensity (such as gardening, walking, or climbing stairs), to high intensity (such as aerobic and strength training). Ryan further explains how strength building and resistance training exercises (such as push-ups, lunges, and lifting objects) will also help prepare your body to efficiently handle daily life activities and improve your quality of life.
