Most people default to being cautious — and for good reason. But when caution turns into inactivity, it quietly works against you.

In this episode:

  • Why fear and “being careful” can stall recovery

  • What inactivity does to muscle, fitness and long-term health

  • The evidence that exercise improves survival after cancer

  • How to rebuild safely with simple, structured movement

The shift:

  • Aim for:

    • Regular walking

    • 2 strength sessions per week
