Not sure there is a"best" exercise to combat ADT SEs. I like to ride my bike, play basketball, swim, ski, hike in the mountains. So, starting point is whatever 'exercise" you do, should be a combination of cardiovascular and resistance training. As to the what, well, what do you like to do, take long walks, hike, ride, swim...as to the amount, well it should be ingrained in your life where most days you do something, mix it up. Some days I ride my bike 30 miles or so, other days I use the elliptical, lift weights and swim. When we go on vacations, I try and make them active ones with hikes in the mountains.

That alone won't combat the probable weight gain so you''ll need to moderate your diet, notice I said moderate, not fast! Despite exercising 5-7 days a week and keeping an eye out on what I eat, I've gained 6-7 pounds, in the mid section, sigh.

I am a 73 yr old who has been on Lupron for 2 years and gained 10 pounds with daily exercise.
My nutrition is in the moderate.
I have just had my last injection and am hopeful that I will take this weight off!
This is a great chat group for support and suggestions …my psa is still undetectable… hoping for the best!
Great suggestions👍
