Should I Ask My Doctor for an Exercise Prescription?
An exercise prescription is worth asking for, especially if you have heart disease or are starting from very little activity. The useful version names what to do, how much, how hard, and when someone will check how it's going. A new statement from the American College of Cardiology gives that request clinical backing. Exercise itself has strong evidence behind it, and you don't need to hit 10,000 steps before it starts to count.
