Well, what we know...
Exercise can have benefits...
I exercise pretty much every day, either at the gym (279 days), indoor bike, weights, swimming, or outside, riding my bike 25-25 miles. I do my own yard week, help out withe household chores, walk my dog...our vacations are pretty active, involving a lot of hiking or skiing.
My weight is under control as is my blood pressure, not diabetic...
I talked with my cardio vascular team this week, routine six-month check in. I was talking that since 2010 when I turned 54 I had experienced:
DVT
PE
PCa
Afib
TIAs
Anyone could have ended things..why didn't one? We surmised that my diet and exercise better enable my body to counter these events. Makes sense, though I can't support with any "scientific" data.
We "know, " or at least intuitively understand that diet and exercise can play a role in mitigating some of ADT's side effects.
Attached is one article I found that discusses the role of exercise in fighting PCa, notice I didn't say in preventing...the basic theory as I read it is exercise strengthen one's immune system, thus when you knock the PCa down, the immune system is in better position to attack the remnants.
Don't mind me, layman, study of one...

I only hit the gym three days a week and definitely not as much work as you do, but I also run a mile twice a day.
And then there’s running which doesn’t seem to be all that prostate cancer preventative, but read these article articles which talk about how it stops prostate cancer from growing. Not sure whether you’ve seen these articles..
