Gil SpitzGUEST

Gil SpitzGUEST
I had a lot of people coming up to me and asking me, "You know, I've got this, this thing in my hip.

Gil SpitzGUEST
I've got this, I've got that." And definitely started to notice some patterns depending on what kind of doctor it was.

Gil SpitzGUEST
You know, my GI doctors were, were getting one type of injury, um, the transplant surgeons were getting another kind of injury or had another kind of complaint.

And even more so when you feel rotten, when you have some type of organ failure, whether it's kidney disease or liver disease or whatever, you feel terrible and you absolutely do not want to participate in an exercise program.

Gil SpitzGUEST
What's the least amount of stuff that I can give you that you can do the least frequently that's going to give you the maximal effects? So what we're looking at really is three to four exercises.
