How to Build a Community Around Exercise

PT Pintcast - Physical Therapy

When you do things with a group you have a better chance of continuing. Things like exercise. So why wouldn't we want people who desperately need to exercise to join a group built around it?

Dr. Leslie Waltke talks about this idea in the form of Team Phoenix. An innovative 14-week fitness and research program in which a leadership team of multidisciplinary clinicians, triathlon coaches and volunteers encourage and assist cancer survivors to regain endurance, strength, flexibility, and overall health and wellness after cancer treatment by training for a sprint-distance triathlon.
