Lung Cancer—The Silent Leader in Cancer Mortality
Lung Cancer—The Silent Leader in Cancer Mortality
Often called a “silent invader,” lung cancer typically shows no noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making it difficult to detect until it has advanced.

Lung cancer can be caused by more than just smoking.

Front Fold
This standing exercise focuses on your back muscles—particularly in your lower back. It’s easy and safe and can be adjusted to your fitness level.

Step 1: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

Step 2: Keep your back straight, then bend at the hips and reach down as far as you can toward the floor. Touch the floor if you can; otherwise, try a modified version using a box or step.

Take approximately two seconds to move into position. Bending your knees slightly is acceptable but too much can sacrifice the benefits to your back muscles.

Step 3: Return to the starting position. Be sure to keep your back straight the entire time, and take two seconds to stand. This counts as one repetition.

Step 4: Try to do three sets of 12 repetitions, making modifications as needed.

To upgrade this activity, you can hold weights in each hand or hold a single weight with both hands to increase resistance.
