  • Currently following standard of care contraception requirements and willing to continue following these requirements for the duration of therapy.
  • Able to provide informed consent and willing to sign an approved consent form that conforms to federal and institutional guidelines.
  • Experiencing clinical fatigue symptoms in the opinion of the investigator.
Exclusion Criteria

-Currently adhering to national physical activity guidelines for resistance training, as defined as participating in structured resistance training ≥ two days per week.

  • Structured is defined as time set aside in the subject's day to workout.
  • Resistance training is defined as exercises which use weights, bands, or body weight (e.g., squats or push-ups).

AND Currently participating in structured moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for ≥ 150 minutes per week.

  • Moderate-intensity exercise is defined as activities where the subject can talk but not sing.

  • Aerobic exercise includes, but is not limited to, walking, swimming, cycling, running, rowing, hiking, and elliptical.

    • Subject has completed the ACSM exercise preparticipation health screening and is, in the opinion of the investigator, fit to participate in this study..

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) Fatigue score from baseline to Week 13 (end of exercise intervention).13 weeks

Test the preliminary efficacy of a 12-week, home-based, unsupervised aerobic and resistance training exercise program on changes in cancer-related fatigue, in patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer recently initiated on Enhertu. FACIT Fatigue Scored 0 (not at all)- 4(Very Much).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Feasibility defined as greater than 75% of all participants completing greater than 66% of all prescribed workouts from baseline to Week 13.13 weeks

Test the feasibility of the tested 12-week, home-based, unsupervised aerobic and resistance training exercise program.

Mean Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) Fatigue score measured every three weeks from baseline to Week 13.13 weeks

Compare the trajectory of cancer-related fatigue from baseline to Week 13 between patients receiving the exercise intervention versus not. FACIT Fatigue Scored 0 (not at all)- 4 (Very Much).
