Exercise counseling session with Dr. Carol Ewing Garber, an American College of Sports Medicine Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist and Professor of Kinesiology. Dr. Garber has over 30 years of experience working with people of all ages- children through older adults-- and specializes in working with people who have chronic health conditions and with people who don’t like to exercise.  She is an expert on exercise prescription and a lead author of national guidelines for exercise.  This package will involve two 45 minute exercise counseling sessions (in person or virtual) and a personalized exercise prescription.

The first 45 minute visit will include an assessment of your current physical activity and exercise habits, identifying any health concerns that may affect the types of exercise you can do safely, and learning more about your goals and previous experiences with exercise—both good and bad. We will then work together to develop an exercise plan for you that will fit your goals, lifestyle and interests-- and that is safe and enjoyable.  Following this session, you will receive a comprehensive, written plan for your personalized exercise program.

The second 45 minute visit will be a follow up visit within 12 weeks for the purpose of reviewing how things are going with your exercise program, identifying successes and challenges you have encountered, and making adjustments to your Program as needed.
