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!!!

RUNNING AWAY FROM CANCER
Its time to make a new fitness resolution. Lace up those tennis shoes people!!! A new study led by researchers at the Siteman Cancer Center at Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis found that consistent exercise is associated with a lower risk of dying from colon cancer.
The study, which included more than 150,000 men and women, found that those who exericed consistently for at least 10 years had the lowest risk of colon cancer death. Not only will 30 minutes of daily physical activity reduce your risk of developing this form of cancer-not to mention heart disease and diabetes - but it can be benefical even after a cancer diagnosis has been made.
