I made a comment to the article about the difficulty in doing exercise when you can't walk up a flight of stairs.  Somebody replied that essentially whatever exercise you can get to challenge your body aerobically is helpful. 

So many things one "should" be doing it seems.... 

I don't see myself lifting weights.  But I do see the benefit of getting out for a walk as going beyond the physical and actually being mentally beneficial.  As long as you can hold yourself upright, which seems to be a challenge quite often during chemo....or at least that has been my experience.
