Patient Profile: Patient is 59 years old with a current weight of 240 pounds; BMI is 41 (5'4"tall). She is sedentary (no physical activity whatsoever) and works a desk job. She had a stress test recently and everything was normal. She states that she participated in a walking program last year but had to drop out after 3 weeks because she developed plantar fasciitis. She also states that the walking was pointless because she did not lose any weight during those 3 weeks. What would be the next focus for her regarding improving the healthcare evaluations? Why? Describe how you would approach this. That is, how would your exercise/ weight loss prescription look for this person?
