Getting second lupron injection

@maga Yeah, I agree that exercise is IT, for many reasons. But there's little or no discussion among these threads about the situation of people who've never really exercised, and then are hit with ADT. There was the long habit of no exercise in the "before time" (which doesn't go away), and now they get the additional physical fatigue with ADT, for a double-whammy. Top that off with the idea that you have to bust your butt or you're not doing it right, and the couch looks pretty good. But there are some ways to get started. Google "starting an exercise program from zero" for some easy and sensible beginner tips.

I was never into exercise before ADT. After I started ADT, I didn’t exercise for the first five or six years. First, I started walking every day, At least a couple of miles, As fast as I could go.
Then I found out I couldn’t get off the floor without pulling myself up on something.That started me going to the gym 3 days a week. That enabled me to stand up without holding on.
I never did have fatigue or mood issues, so I didn’t need to do the exercises in order to reduce the those problems..
Everybody reacts differently to ADT. I also wasn’t getting informed about the benefits of exercise, Unless you participate in some prostate cancer groups, you don’t hear about the need to exercise.
