Cancer survivors are living longer due to advances in the diagnosis and control of cancer. Healthy lifestyle habits (physical activity, weight control) can enhance the quality of these years by reducing risk of cancer recurrence and other chronic diseases. Effective lifestyle programs are needed and should take into consideration the physical activity preferences and potential influences specific to this population, particularly among those with obesity who are most in need. Location, walking self-efficacy, and fitness are factors that should be considered for future PA programs among breast cancer survivors who have obesity. Tailoring for such individuals should involve a theoretically driven program which targets walking self-efficacy and involves activities appropriate for various levels of cardiorespiratory fitness.
