I couldn't agree more. I am a teacher and I always try to get this message across as part of a diet or health lesson. So many kids have no idea and think of exercise as something only for "sports people". They will learn, (hopefully) Art Brighton´s last blog post..Brighton Yoga

I went to a doctor's visit a couple of weeks ago and I feel so ashamed when she asked me how often I exercise. Honestly I have not done it for a long time, although there is a great gym in my building. So I decided to start again with two exercise per week. Our building offers a Yoga class once a week, then I just need to go to the gym on another day! My job is a real estate agent, that helps me to walk around a lot, I tried not to take cab during showings, maybe this can be count half a time:) Chicago Realtor´s last blog post..Cheapest studio at the 400 E Randolph

Hi Blake,

This is such a great idea, I hadn’t heard of it either. I wonder if the UK or Australia would adopt a similar line?

I like how health care professionals have access to various resources on the website, particularly assessing the patients readiness to change (so important), and also writing a prescription for exercise…what a wonderful idea!

I fully support exercise is medicine! I think doctors need to inform patients about what is available to help them be healthy and fit.

Nice site, Blake!

After posting the article, “Exercise is Good Medicine,” I received a note from Dr. James Hubbard who publishes My Family Doctor .

Dr. Hubbard affirms that exercise is the closest thing we have to a fountain of youth. Hearing from you, Dr. Hubbard and others assures me that many of us (even though we may never meet) are working in partnership to create healthier and more fit families and friends in communities throughout the country. My best to you.

This is the first time I heard of the movement. That would be great. I've been reading too many stories of doctors who are afraid of recommending dietary and exercise advice for patients because too many of us are getting offended. asithi's last blog post..3 Steps to Eating Healthy at a Restaurant
