I'm excited about the Exercise as Medicine initiative because I hope it will encourage safer, more collaborative practices around promoting physical activity. The tips in this series focus on finding ways to enhance motivation and maintain a program of physical activity that is enjoyable and manageable. I would recommend everyone to seek the guidance of an exercise professional before beginning any program. Thanks for your comments! Best, Gloria Hi Alicja,

How often, how long, what intensity of exercise... I've seen studies related to these issues. Great suggestions though.
