THE POWIR4ADT CORE WORKOUT.
Welcome to the core exercises of the POWIR4ADT workout. Instead of putting them all in one video, we have laid them out in a webpage for you to move from exercise to exercise. Please click on the link below to go to the page with the complete POWIR4ADT workout.
Before attempting the exercise, please review each video, when you are comfortable in your understanding of the exercise, then attempt it yourself.
The Workout
The POWIR4ADT core workout is a series of exercises adapted to men with prostate cancer. The original study was conducted on healthy, premenopausal women in order to research site specific response to resistance training on bone mineral density. Because there ise an age difference and health issues that would affect the two populations differently, we have adjusted the exercises appropriately to older men undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
BEFORE YOU START
We have exercise pre-screening tools availble on this site for you to review before starting any exercise program. Please utilize these tools and consult with a physician if necessary before begining any new fitness program.
You don’t necessarily need any equipment, you can do it all with just body weight to start. Once you are confident with your form and don’t feel any pain with full range of motion, then it is advised to add more resistance.
We recommend resistance bands. They are inexpensive, easy to transport and take with you wherever you go and are great for joint stability. But, as with all of our exercises, we want to remove roadblocks from your physical activty so feel free to use whatever form of resistance you have readily available to you.
