Moving Through Cancer by Kathryn Schmitz

Cancer diagnosis and treatment doesn't have to be a passive experience, and it shouldn't be. Dr. Kathryn Schmitz's Moving Through Cancer introduces a 21-day program of strength training and exercise for cancer prevention and recovery.

Kathryn Schmitz, PhD, MPH, FACSM, is the Associate Director of population sciences at the Penn State Cancer Institute and past president at the American College of Sports Medicine. Her protocols for exercise in cancer care are already being used by several major institutions and practitioners. Dr. Schmitz has made it her personal mission to use exercise for cancer prevention and recovery, for all cancers. Dr. Schmitz holds a BA in economics from the University of North Carolina, an MS in exercise physiology from Queens College, a PhD in kinesiology from the University of Minnesota, and an MPH from the University of Minnesota. She is also an in-demand speaker for cancer patients and physicians around the world. She has given presentations about her work at conferences like the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the International Society of Lymphology, and the American Cancer Society. She has also been featured on Good Morning America and NPR and in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal.
