PREP follows the Guidelines of the Exercise is Medicine® initiative, a shared vision, and of the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Medical Association. Your Physician has most likely discussed with you the importance of exercise and proper nutrition for managing illnesses, including diabetes, in addition to weight management and just overall good health. The Exercise is Medicine initiative is designed to accomplish these goals by encouraging physicians to prescribe physical activity for their patients. In support of this initiative, we have developed PREP as an avenue for physicians to help their patients achieve their goals for a healthier lifestyle.
