Remote Resistance Exercise Powering Survivors - Gastrointestinal Oncology

Tele-Resistance training sessions will be supervised and guided by a certified exercise trainer via smartphone, tablet or laptop. Exercises will be performed using resistance tubes (Bodylastics Resistance Bands Set) and a connectable bar (Bionic Body Workout Bar) that mimics a weighted barbell when tubes are attached. The tubes provide up to 142 pounds of resistance (adjustable in increments between 3-10 pounds) when simultaneously connected to handles or bar, and multiple tubes can be attached simultaneously. Participants will engage in brief warm up exercises lasting 2-3 minutes prior to each RT session and will rest at least 1 minute between sets of the same exercise to aid muscle recovery. Participants will perform at least 2 sets of 12 repetitions for each of 6 exercises. Including warm up, training sets, and rest, sessions will last approximately 30 minutes. RT will include six target exercises focusing on major muscle groups of the upper body, lower body, and core.
