Exercise Tips: Do This So You Can Do That (Series)

The purpose of specific exercises at the gym is to enhance the muscles we rely on in our daily routines! Karlyne, Cornerstone Movement's social media manager, shows us how.

🟢 Shoulder Press - This exercise enables us to lift items overhead, such as placing pots in cupboards or stowing luggage in overhead compartments. This ability can diminish with age if not maintained through training. It’s an excellent way to boost upper body strength, specifically targeting the shoulders and triceps. 🏋🏻‍♂️
🟢 Push-Ups - This exercise promotes a naturally stronger posture, particularly beneficial for those who spend long hours at a desk. Acting like a moving plank, it engages your core and back muscles, encouraging your shoulders to pull back naturally and alleviating lower back strain. 💪🏻

Can you think of additional ways these exercises can benefit us in our everyday lives?

Exercise Spotlight: Kettlebell Sumo Deadlift

The Kettlebell Sumo Deadlift is a comprehensive exercise that involves lifting a kettlebell from the ground by hinging at the hips and engaging your back and legs to rise with the weight. This movement effectively targets multiple muscle groups, including the glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, lower back, and upper back muscles. 🏋

Join Gina as we explore this exercise in our .

✅ Key Takeaways:
Form Check 1: Keep your toes at a 45° angles.
Form Check 2: Make sure your core is tight and your back is flat before you pick up the kettlebell.
Form Check 3: Power through with your legs and glutes to perform the exercise!

Kettlebell sumo deadlifts are an excellent way to learn proper posture and deadlift mechanics, enhancing the strength and resilience of your hips and back. They are simpler to master and come with a reduced risk of injury. 👍🏻

Most people start exercising because they want to change their body.

Lose weight.
Tone up.
Fit into old clothes.
Look better in photos.

We all do want to look good and there’s nothing wrong with that.

But if you stay consistent long enough, you realise the biggest transformation isn’t physical.

It’s the confidence to try new things.
The energy to keep up with life.
The strength to do what once felt impossible.
The resilience to keep showing up.
The habits that make health sustainable.
The relationship with exercise that no longer comes from guilt or punishment.

The goal may have been to change your body.

But what really changed was you ✨

“Most people focus on what happens after cancer surgery. But what you do before might matter just as much. 🔬

Prehabilitation — an exercise program done leading up to surgery — has been shown to help patients enter the operating room with greater physical reserve, recover faster, and experience fewer complications.

The science is from Santa Mina et al. (2015), published in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism — and the message is simple: don’t wait for surgery to start moving.

If you or someone you love is preparing for surgery, reach out — we’d love to help you build a plan. 💙

Exercise is medicine — when prescribed appropriately. 🤍

Many people grow up believing:

“Heart disease runs in my family.”
“Diabetes is genetic.”
“So there’s nothing much I can do.”
But genetics are only ONE part of the picture.

Studies show that regular exercise and healthy habits can significantly reduce disease risk — even in people with high genetic risk factors (Stanford Medicine summary of UK Biobank/Circulation, 2018).

Movement helps with:
• Blood sugar control
• Blood pressure
• Inflammation
• Body composition
• Cardiovascular health

Your genes may shape your starting point, but your daily habits still play a powerful role in your long‑term health.

You don’t need perfection.
You don’t need extreme workouts.

Small, consistent habits over time matter more than most people realise.

Cancer treatment can be incredibly demanding on the body. But support doesn’t only come from medicine alone.

The right exercise, at the right time, can help someone stay stronger, move better, manage fatigue, and protect quality of life through treatment and recovery.

Not extreme workouts.
Not “go hard or go home.”
Just movement tailored to the person in front of us.

At Cornerstone, this is what exercise oncology means to us: meeting people where they are, and helping them rebuild confidence in their body one step at a time.

If you or someone you love is going through cancer care, know that support exists — and movement can be part of it. 🤍
