Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 5, 2007 --
This breast cancer gift combo includes Andrea Bruno's instructional DVD and a HeartFlex fitness device. _Breast Cancer Gift Combo_.
Andrea recommends that the breast cancer exercises demonstrated in this breast cancer merchandise combo be performed pre-surgically to benefit breast cancer fitness, overall physical conditioning, and mental preparedness. Improved musculature and circulation are essential to facilitate breast cancer surgery and breast cancer rehabilitation. Proactive pre-surgical exercises also assist the breast cancer patient's mental attitude and morale; help control anxiety and speed recovery.
This thoughtful breast cancer gift was developed by Andrea Bruno, cancer survivor - her credentials follow:
* The Founder and President of the Breast Cancer Survivors Foundation and the Cancer Exercise Training Institute.
* Co-Author of the book Essential Exercises for Breast Cancer Survivors and author of the Cancer Exercise Specialist Handbook.
* Certified by the American Council on Exercise, the American College of Sports Medicine, and the Cooper Institute as a Personal Trainer and Special Populations Expert.
* Adjunct faculty member of the American Council on Exercise and the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
* Conducts national workshops on Cancer and Exercise and administers Cancer Exercise Specialist Examination (CES) and Renewals for Certified Cancer Exercise Specialists (CCES).
Andrea Bruno's Breast Cancer Exercises Combo / what is included:
Andrea's breast cancer fitness DVD video plus HeartFlex exercise device. The DVD demonstrates two levels of exercises; (Level 1) for those just out of surgery and ( Level 2), for those wanting more of a challenge.
As a bonus Andrea has included a segment on how to recognize the warning signs of lymphedema. This is perhaps the best breast cancer gift you can give someone who is about to undergo breast cancer surgery and breast cancer recovery. _Breast Cancer Gift Combo_.
Breast Cancer Public Speaking:
Andrea, a cancer survivor, is the owner and founder of Leading Edge Fitness , based in Portland, Oregon. Her passion is to educate and inform the public concerning breast cancer surgery and she is qualified to speak to groups of all sizes about various fitness topics.
To schedule an exciting and impacting speaking event contact Andrea Bruno.
HeartFlex for Breast Cancer Rehabilitation:
Andrea chose the HeartFlex exerciser for this video combo because of its unique attributes. HeartFlex is particularly suited for breast cancer rehabilitation because it creates only "consistent-passive resistance" which speeds healing and lessens the likelihood of re-injury during breast cancer recovery. Other breast cancer rehabilitation products which use weights, springs, or rubber bands produce "progressive-cocked resistance" which can overload and cause damage to sensitive healing structures; unintentionally extending the duration of breast cancer recovery.
"Preparing for breast cancer surgery is physical as well as mental. This at-home breast cancer exercise combo (video plus HeartFlex exercise device) was developed specifically to assist breast cancer patients and breast cancer survivors prepare for, and speed recovery from, breast cancer surgery."

PreventBreastCancerNow.com Moves Breast Cancer Awareness Discussion to Breast Cancer Prevention
Berkeley, California (PRWEB) October 31, 2007 -- Every month should be Breast Cancer Awareness Month, says Dr. Lynn Fraley, founder of http://www.preventbreastcancernow.com/. And with a little more imagination and will, she says, awareness of prevention will bring more life to the issue.
Previously unpublicized findings reveal that women can dramatically reduce their breast cancer risk. These self-care measures go beyond the usual advice about diet, exercise, and avoiding household toxins. New strategies can help stop breast cancer from developing.
Dr. Lynn Fraley reports findings that have been in medical and lay literature for over a decade. A direct relationship between alcohol consumption and breast cancer has been established. Bra use has also been implicated in breast cancer, with research showing a direct correlation between the hours a bra is worn and cancer incidence.
An underutilized screening method called thermography, an FDA approved technology that does not use radiation, can show breast tissue changes 2 to 10 years before a tumor may develop. This is time that can be used to change the course of events. Women can do more than just look and wait for breast cancer, and this is the year, not just the month, to look for better solutions to the breast cancer problem. Ladies, it?s a great day in America!
Dr. Lynn Fraley is an expert in self-care and wellness. As an educator, consultant, author, health coach and speaker she makes sense of research findings that reveal the mystery of what contributes to breast cancer and how to best to prevent it.

Breast Cancer Statistics – How Breast Cancer Survival Rates Increased 50%
Breast cancer statistics show that over 1.2 million persons will be diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide this year, according to the World Health Organization. For breast cancer and prevention, it has long been known that regular physical activity has been shown to decrease the likelihood of having breast cancer. What has not been known or studied has been the effect of regular physical activity on the breast cancer survival rates or likelihood of death in women that already have breast cancer. That is, until now.
The breast cancer statistics and findings as reported by the American Medical Association's Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in May 2005 were astounding! Certain participants in the study of women with Stage I, II or III breast cancer achieved a 50% reduction in the death rate from breast cancer.
Here are these breast cancer statistics: the journal reported that in the study 2,987 female registered nurses had been diagnosed with breast cancer during the years 1984-1998. What the study found was that the women who had physical activity equivalent to walking at a steady pace of 2.0-2.9 miles per hour for 3-5 hours a week had a death rate of only 50% of the death rate of women who had physical activity equivalent to walking less than one hour a week. The conclusion of the breast cancer statistics in the study was that physical activity after breast cancer has been diagnosed may reduce the risk of death from breast cancer. The study found that there was little evidence of any relation between increased physical activity and increased benefit.
It's time to dust off those walking shoes!
As a physical activity, walking can be done almost anytime by anyone anywhere. All that's needed is a good pair of walking shoes. Walking is fun and reduces stress. As for injuries, walking has the lowest injury rate of all the various kinds of exercise.
You can walk with a partner, friend, family member or dog, maybe even a neighbor's dog. Or you can walk with your favorite headset and music. If you are walking outdoors with a headset, keep one ear open to hear the sounds around you.
As for basic walking tips:
· As you begin regular walking, take it easy. Standard advice is to check with your physician before starting any exercise program. If it's been years or decades since you walked regularly, perhaps you can begin with 5 minutes of walking and slowly increase your time and distance.
· Walking at a pace of 75–95 steps a minute will have you walking at a speed of about 2-3 miles per hour.
· Walk with your head up, looking out in front of you. Do not walk looking down right in front of you except to navigate any obstacles.
· Really take it easy the first 5 minutes of walking to warm up. Afterwards, gently stretch for 5–10 minutes while your muscles are warm.
· Practice good walking form. Your arms should swing naturally in the direction you're walking, not from side to side across your body. Your foot should strike the ground on your heel, then a rolling motion forward toward the ball of your foot, then pushing off with your toes.
And here are some basic walking shoes tips:
· Buy your walking shoes from a sporting shoes store with large selections. That will give you plenty of choices. And buy your walking shoes later in the day when your feet will be larger.
· Buy cushioned, supportive walking shoes. To see if a shoe is supportive, do this test -- take a shoe and turn it upside down. Holding each end of the shoe, try to fold it. If you find the shoe bends in the middle, then that shoe is not a supportive shoe. A supportive shoe should bend where your foot normally bends, near your toes.
· You should allow the width of your index finger between the end of your shoe and the end of your longest toe, or about one-half inch.
· Buy two pairs of walking shoes, one for home and one for the car or workplace. And if one pair gets wet, you can use the other pair that day.
Walking is the closest thing to the perfect exercise. In today's fast-paced society, regular walking can be a welcomed break from the stress of the day. Maybe you'll get to know your neighborhood or neighbors better. There may be walking trails you've never seen but wanted to.
Wherever and however you choose to walk, not only can the experience be fun, you'll know you're being good to your body in a variety of ways. Besides the incredible breast cancer statistics and findings of the breast cancer study, walking helps with weight control and bone strength, elevates mood, helps build and maintain healthy muscles, joints and heart. With so many great health benefits, why not get started walking today!
