I heard of just the opposite situation. Doctor asked if the patient worked out. Patient said no. Doctor raised eyebrows and said that she must do something for exercise. Patient still said no. Doctor eyed patient's build, noted well-defined muscles, flipped back through the chart for bp & pulse, then asked the stay-at-home-mom to describe a typical day. Hauling hay bales to feed animals, training horses, going on trail rides... Didn't have time to "exercise."
