    Hi everyone,

    I would like to share with you a resource from the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary.

    “The EXCEL Study provides a free 8-12-week exercise program, for people undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment, living in rural and remote regions across Canada. This evidence-based program is taught by fitness professionals trained in exercise oncology.

    Classes are delivered online through a secure video-conferencing platform, with morning and evening classes to suit all needs. Where possible, the programs are in-person. These group classes run for 60 minutes, twice a week for 8-12 weeks. They are offered three times a year: January, April, and September. The next session begins in the week of January 20th until the week of April 7th 2025. 

    The programs focus on: cardiovascular, resistance training, balance, stretching.

    In addition to the exercise program, instructors review education topics on behaviour change and provide you with tools to continue staying active, even after the classes end.”

    Your can learn more by watching EXCEL Welcome Video or by visiting their website

    If you are interested in this program, please feel free to e-mail: wellnesslab@ucalgary.ca
