(HealthDay News) - Not everyone recovering from cancer is physically or mentally able to exercise.

For those who want to try, with a doctor's consent, the American Cancer Society offers these possible benefits of regular exercise:

* Maintain and improve physical strength and balance, as well as muscle tone.
* Improve circulation and reduce risk of blood clots.
* Reduce risk of heart disease.
* Decrease nausea, fatigue, anxiety and depression.
* Maintain and improve independence.
* Increase social activity and contact.
* Improve self-esteem.
