Talking Fitness
A Series of Articles by Dr. George L. Dixon, Jr., M.D.

Dr. Dixon writes a regular column for PRIME TIME, a monthly newspaper for seniors in Albuquerque, NM, edited by Arthur Alpert.  We hope you will find the articles interesting and useful supplements to "Ask Dr. Dixon."

"Talking Fitness" was merely the general  name for my articles.   I tried to be somewhat seasonal and cover the field of encouraging safe physical activity generally and yet most of the articles are concerned with specific topics which are of interest to adults of all ages. Also articles on contemporary areas of dietary interest and presently on a draw out Vitamin group, interspersed. I did not speak much about those who were already heavily involved in aerobic exercise."
