GREATER Manchester residents are being invited to join free online fitness sessions for World Cancer Day. The sessions are being led by exercise specialists who deliver fitness, nutrition and wellbeing programmes to help cancer patients prepare for and recover from major surgery. The sessions are set to take place on Thursday, February 4. The instructors work for a transformational programme called Prehab4Cancer. They usually deliver help in local community leisure centres for people with cancer who are referred for support by the medical teams at the region’s hospitals. In response to lockdown restrictions, the Prehab4Cancer exercise specialists are offering their support online.
