In this episode, we chat with Petra Thaller (Outdoor Against Cancer) and Rūdolfs Cešeiko, PhD (Exercise Oncology Clinic, Latvia) on how structured exercise and outdoor movement can transform the cancer journey - from treatment to long-term recovery. Petra shares how founding Outdoor Against Cancer during chemotherapy put nature-based activity at the center of care, while Rūdolfs explains the clinic framework that blends aerobic endurance with strength training and the evidence-based 4×4 Method adapted for oncology.
What Petra & Rūdolfs want you to try:
•Start light, keep moving
•Go outdoors when you can
•Don’t skip strength work
•Use a structured plan (4×4)
•Seek supervised, accessible sessions
