LIFE AFTER MEDICINE
Louisville around 2012 and continue in many Kentucky communities and internationally , with chapters in the Philippines , South America and Europe . They include the doctor ’ s brief primer on a current health topic and then the opportunity – while moving right along – to ask the doctor questions . It ’ s an international organization dedicated to teaching people one-to-one the enjoyment and health benefits of exercise .
We have people in our regular group who have had both knees and hips replaced , multiple orthopedic surgeries , several who have had coronary bypass surgery , and several who have had mitral valve surgery . They are all out there , getting the right exercise to reduce the risk of having future cardiovascular issues .
We walk year-round - we bundle up in the wintertime , and make sure we drink plenty of water and try to avoid the heat of the day in the summertime . Fall and spring are the sweet spots , but we do this year around almost every Saturday and Sunday .
I hope that some of these pictures of these great friends , neighbors and fellow physicians will inspire you to perhaps start a similar neighborhood group . Either way I encourage you to do the best you can to get aerobic fitness , and for people with lower extremity orthopedic limitations , I tell them to watch the KET show , Sit And Be Fit , with a half an hour of chair aerobics each morning at 7:30 .
As for our group , lookout springtime , here we come !
