How To Walk Like Muhammed Ali Does Sit ups I Dr. Juan Carlos Correa

Boxing Champion Mohammed Ali once said, "I don't count the sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting because they're the only ones that count. That's what makes you a champion."

In this video, Vascular Surgeon Juan Carlos Correa says that it's the same when you walk if you want to build natural bypasses around any narrowing or blockages in your leg arteries.

If you are experiencing leg pain, leg cramps, or diabetic neuropathy, it's worth calling the Global PAD Association's Leg Saver Hotline to find out conservative treatment options to improve symptoms without surgery. Walking is the best medicine for preventing, treating, and managing peripheral artery disease (PAD). P.A.D. is a narrowing of the arteries which occurs in the peripherals, mainly the legs, caused by plaque build-up. Symptoms include leg pain, leg cramps, tingling, neuropathy, skin discoloration, non-healing foot sores.

Click HERE to check your symptoms. Risk factors include age, heredity, diabetes, obesity, smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure. Your physician may order an Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) test, which uses blood pressure cuffs to measure the blood pressure on your legs versus that of your arms or an artery ultrasound. An ABI test can offer a false normal result if your vessels are highly calcified and diabetic.

If you are experiencing symptoms such as leg pain, leg cramps, numbness, tingling, or have a non-healing ulcer on your foot, ask for a follow-up ultrasound. P.A.D. is treatable with medicine, walking, intervention, and surgery. A regimented walking program is frontline therapy as it accelerates your body's ability to expand a smaller network of vessels to re-route flow around narrowed arteries.
