'BUILD is a class at The Hill Kansas City dedicated to providing functional fitness to cancer survivors. But, more importantly, BUILD is a group of supportive survivors dedicated to working hard and achieving results. In this episode, we\'re working on improving function through the use of the dead lift. The dead lift builds lean muscle, improves metabolism, and drastically increases function. Our surveys and research support functional weight training over more traditional post-cancer protocols. While typically relegated to a slow walk on a treadmill or water aerobics, survivors are rarely given the opportunity to explore training protocols that replicate the demands of life in light of how survivors\' bodies function differently post-treatment. In this class, we train strength, balance, coordination, and aerobic capacity. Often times, we\'re creating accessory drills to combat the effects of neuropathy and other treatment-related impairments. For more info, visit: https://www.TheHillKC.com/BUILD'
