Group Exercise Rotation

RISE Group Exercise Sessions

RISE group classes are gentle, cancer-informed sessions designed for patients and survivors of all diagnoses and fitness levels. Each class rotates through four focus areas so you can start where you are and build confidence over time.

💪 Strength & Function

Build confidence for everyday movement.

  • Chair sit-to-stand variations for leg strength.
  • Wall push-ups or press-outs for upper body strength.
  • Band or towel rows to support posture.
  • Gentle marching (seated or standing) to connect strength and stamina.

Focus: making daily activities feel more manageable and less tiring.

🧘 Mobility & Posture

Move more freely and breathe more comfortably.

  • Shoulder circles and wall angels for range of motion.
  • Gentle spinal mobility (cat–cow style).
  • Chest-opening stretches for posture relief.
  • Band pull-aparts to support the upper back.

Focus: easing tightness from treatment or surgery and supporting upright posture.

⚖️ Balance & Core Stability

Feel steadier on your feet and supported through your center.

  • Supported single-leg stance and heel-to-toe walking.
  • Seated or standing marches for core activation.
  • Anti-rotation press using a band or towel.
  • Slow step-overs or lateral steps for safe direction changes.

Focus: supporting neuropathy, dizziness, fall prevention, and confidence in movement.

💓 Endurance & Energy

Gently improve stamina and manage fatigue.

  • March-and-reach patterns or step taps (seated or standing).
  • Light, controlled shadowboxing without twisting or impact.
  • Short, repeatable “energy blocks” with rest between sets.
  • Calming breathing work to support recovery.

Focus: building energy through small, consistent efforts.

Each RISE session is full-body, low-impact, and adjustable. Participants may choose seated or standing options based on how they feel that day.
