Sami Mansfield: A 5-Minute HIIT Workout for Cancer Survivors
Sami Mansfield, Founder of Cancer Wellness for Life, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Short on time? So are your patients. That’s why this 5-minute HIIT workout was created—to make movement possible, not perfect.
This week’s Five-Minute Friday is a low-impact HIIT workout designed for cancer survivors. It’s joint-friendly, scalable, and backed by evidence.
Why it matters: A 2024 meta-analysis shows HIIT significantly improves VO₂ peak in survivors—supporting heart and lung function.
Another study found high-intensity aerobic exercise may reduce the risk of metastasis by 72% by changing glucose use in the body.
This short low impact circuit includes:
Thruster
RDL
Up-Down
Arnold Press
Seated CrunchSurvivor-safe | No jumping or floor work | Easy to modify Bonus: Ruth Doodle Ginsberg makes an appearance—because sometimes, a little joy and fur-fueled motivation helps us all keep going.
Created with the principles of exerciseoncology in mind and uses our lifestylemedicine pillars.”
