 Woman's Health Issues

Women with specific health issues can benefit from a planned, thoughtful program of exercise.

Key factors to consider before exercising:

Pre and Post-Natal

  • Were you exercising pre-pregnancy?
  • What month are you in?
  • If post-natal, has your body recovered from childbirth?

"I know that fitness training helped make my delivery easier" -Heather Price, age 31

After Breast Surgery

  • Do you have any unusual pain, numbness or tightness?
  • Did you have an axillary node dissection?
  • Are you undergoing chemotherapy or radiation?
  • Suggested resource: SHARE (Cancer support)

"Exercise has helped me regain confidence in my body," -Margie Anderson, age 52

Osteoporosis:
Prevention and Treatment

  • Have you had a bone density test?
  • How do the results compare with a young adult's?
  • What areas – spine, hip or wrist – show low bone density?
  • Suggested resource: Hospital for Special Surgery Osteoporosis Prevention Center

"The diagnosis [of osteoporosis] made me feel so fragile that I stopped exercising. Now I know what I can do," -Gina Lee, age 65
