Life is designed to improve range of motion, weight management, self-esteem and qualify of life for breast cancer survivors. The program consists of 12 weeks of 90-minute classes two times a week for a total of 24 classes.

The exercise classes include warm-up, light weight training, cardio endurance fitness, stretching and relaxing. Eight of the classes also include an educational component that is incorporated into the 90-minute class session.

After completion of the 12 week program the participants will be given a log book and encouraged to continue to exercise for 150 minutes per week. Participants will be asked to maintain their log book for another 8 weeks after graduation from the program and they will be contacted monthly by a counselor for a progress review.

After 8 weeks participants will receive a follow-up phone interview with the program coordinator to find out if they have progressed or continued their exercise program. They will also be encouraged to join the fitness center at a discounted rate.

The class size is limited. Participants must be either undergoing treatment for breast cancer or be no more than 12 months post treatment. All are required to have medical releases to exercise from their oncologist/surgeon and make a commitment to the program.

Class Sessions: The class consists of  12-week exercise and lecture sessions held Tuesdays and Thursdays. All sessions are held in the Lifestyle Center, 800 Battlefield Blvd., North, Chesapeake, VA 23320
