So, when should you start to exercise?

The front page lead story in THE STATE from Columbia, SC for Thursday, June 4, 2015 is about Bob Coble, former Mayor. The former Mayor has just returned home from rehab after a quadruple heart bypass. He is thankful for a "Second Chance."  Inside the article Mayor Bob acknowledges that the medical professionals who helped him recover said he was in good shape but it was his lifestyle - lack of exercise and eating habits that may have triggered his episode.

Mayor Bob got one of those terrible wake-up calls as he battled that heart problem. Now, since many of us are in SC, we know we could be getting the same call. I have a saying I use for my students -- experience is learning from your own mistakes; education is learning from the mistakes of others. While exercise might not prevent every potential heart attack there is a great deal of evidence showing it makes a difference for a healthier life.
