Exercise Oncology Specialist Provides the Ultimate Personal Training Exercise Advice for Cancer Survivors -- Ciaran Fairman, The PTDC.com

Given that cancer is the most common disease in the world, and given the advanced treatment cancer patients are able to receive, chances are you will train a cancer survivor at some point in your career.

This week, Ciaran Fairman lays out the complicating factors for you, including additional resources to help you meet your client's needs.
