There are still so few doctors that know anything about people that lift weights or do any kind of serious exercise. I remember seeing my primary care physician about 15 years ago and him telling me that I was considered "obese." Now mind you, I actually had cut abs at the time. But since my body weight did not fit what was represented on his height chart; he listed me as obese. It was the last time that I saw that doctor. Thank Gawd we're getting to a point where doctors are better educated about exercise, muscle mass and what true physical fitness is. This is such a no brainer.

DUH! Remember when heart attack victims were advised not to get out of bed for 6 weeks. New mothers could only dangle their feet over the side of the bed after 4 days! Remember don't take exercise advice from NON-exercising doctors! (And I am one.) Just DUH! DUH! Remember when heart attack victims were advised not to get out of bed for 6 weeks.
