Cancer and Exercise: An online training manual for health fitness instructors

Welcome to the Book!

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU BEGIN!

These web pages will take you to the online version of Chris Goad's book, "Cancer and Exercise: A Training Manual for Health Fitness Instructors."

At this time, we are very much "under construction." Please be patient as we work out the many kinks involved in getting this website up and running.

We would ask that you take some time to read the book-- in any order that suits you-- and provide LOTS OF COMMENTS. The chapters and sections are all numbered, so each page has a unique identity, which is easy to find at the top, right above the sunflower. (This is the "Welcome to the Book!" page.) For easier navigation, quick-links to all of the chapters can be found in the navigation panel on the left.

Please email any comments that you have to: book@sunflowerwellness.org, along with your name, the specific page reference(s) and any helpful suggestions that you might have. We are quite interested in comments regarding the layout, usability, grammar, spelling, flow, illustrations, accuracy, and anything else you might notice that would make the process of using this manual straightforward.

Thank you in advance for your help!
