303: My Doctor Tells Me I can’t Exercise, Really?

In recent months I’ve had listeners and others I’ve interacted with that say due to various health conditions their doctor won’t allow them to workout or lift weights. Even not knowing the exact standard recommendations for the conditions they have I have a real problem with these blanket recommendations so I decided to find an article reviewing research on a high risk population doing very challenging activity. John always reviews the full-text of every article, but you may view the free abstract by clicking here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23537033. This podcast is proudly sponsored by John’s premium exercise equipment and apparel company Barbell 1.
