Since my first lumpectomy in April and my second one two months later, I had to put strength training aside. I’m now a third of my way through chemotherapy and have felt well enough to have three strength training sessions since treatment began.
Yesterday I did three sets each of weighted deadlifts, bicep curls, overhead presses, and squats, but the most challenging movement for me remains the push-up (hence the incline).
Today my body could feel yesterday’s efforts in a good way. Still, I took a little time to tend to the tight spots with some gentle yoga.
I know I have a long way to go still in my cancer treatments and while I have had some minor side effects and days with less energy, I’m simply thankful for the days I feel good enough to tend to myself in these big and small ways.
Yoga clips are sped up 2x. Push-ups in real time.
