Regular physical activity can provide important benefits for individuals affected by breast cancer. Exercise may help support overall well-being, improve physical fitness, assist with weight management, and may be associated with a lower risk of cancer recurrence and improved survival outcomes.

Incorporating physical activity into a healthy lifestyle—ideally under the guidance of a healthcare professional—can be an important part of breast cancer care and recovery. In addition to regular exercise, maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet can help support overall health and reduce the risk of other health conditions.

For many patients, aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week, or an equivalent amount of activity as recommended by their healthcare team, can be a helpful goal. Even small, consistent increases in daily movement can contribute to better health and quality of life.
