1. Exercise, Exercise, Exercise!!!!- But be careful not to overtrain. Overtraining cal lead to a constellation of symptoms, ranging from fatigue, persistent muscle soreness, changes in your mood, to outright poor performance.
2. Heart attacks and Athletes- Know your family history, get regular physical exams and follow through with heart testing if you and your doctor believe that its indicated.
3. Fitness Fads- Beware!!
4. Training in Hot Weather- Women should take more care than men in hot conditions. Regular exercise before a heat wave will help you to acclimate to the heat more easily.
5. When to see a Specialist- If you're a weekend warrior, its probably fine to go to your regular doctor, who can rule out a serious injury that requires immediate treatment. Then, if not better in a few weeks, you can see a specialist. If you're an elite athlete, you should consider going to a sports medicine specialist soon after an injury.
6. Age and Working out- Whether or not exercise provides a "fountain of youth", it is healthy at any age, so go it!!!
