@surftohealth88 At the hospital where I attend monthly prostate cancer support group meetings, they do offer those free services. (And at the VA center where I go, they offer them as well.)
(My wife told me the major side-effect of ADT that she saw with me was that I started watching too much Hallmark Channel.)
(I’m a gym rat so, when they said to ramp up my exercise regimen, I knew exactly what to do: focus on multi-joint exercises that utilize the largest muscle groups: squat, deadlift, bench press, row, overhead press, and lat pulldown exercises.)
Plus, there’s a wealth of information online on resistance-training exercise programs. Here are just a few that I’ve bookmarked:

@brianjarvis
Thanks so much Brian for your response and all of the links 😃 ! I am sure than many members will find them useful.
I was laughing when I read : "My wife told me the major side-effect of ADT that she saw with me was that I started watching too much Hallmark Channel." , ha ha !
My poor husband had to watch those for years anyway because he was living in a house with wife and 2 daughters 😆 - poor thing did not have much choice. lol
I am joking - we would take turns for "family movie time" - one night we would watch his choice (that had to be PG 17 lol since I can not stand bloody violence or anything too scary) and the other night we girls would choose the movie which was 99% of the time romantic comedy lol or historical drama story with obligatory romantic undertone lol.
