In 2010, Cathy developed and facilitated an exercise and cancer recovery program in partnership with Fairview Health Services at a local fitness facility. This collaboration yielded an exercise program that focused on building strength, balance, flexibility, and weight management. Along with improving physical well-being, the program resulted in improved quality of life, function, range of motion, and stress management for survivors. Since then, Cathy created the Exercise for Cancer Recovery™ program which is in numerous community-based locations within the Twin Cities.
Training focuses on building core strength.
