- Abstract
The healthcare challenges in developed countries centre around the rise of chronic conditions and obesity. There is a call to shift the focus toward the primary prevention of these conditions. Clinicians will need to move beyond the comfort of prescribing pharmaceuticals and expand the scope to prescribing health, i.e. exercise. We discuss an easy-to-follow exercise prescription to highlight some essential principles and useful tools that can help busy family practices achieve this.
