Franklin Saksena

M.D. Board Certification in Cardiovascular Disease and Internal Medicine
Staff Bio

Dr. Saksena specializes in Cardiology and Internal Medicine and has been practicing medicine for 40 years.  He has been a member of Galter LifeCenter for more than 10 years and his favorite workouts include swimming and Group Power.  If you are new to exercise he recommends starting with a personal trainer who can help you develop a workout.  Also try aqua aerobics, swimming, biking and walking a half mile to one mile a day.  His philosophy on exercise is that you should participate in regular exercise at a moderate degree of exertion three to four times a week.  

"As a cardiologist and internist I believe in the importance of regular exercise.
I try to exercise 3 times a week either at Galter LifeCenter or running outside (while the weather holds). It's still possible to attend an individual exercise session with a trainer at Galter LifeCenter. Exercise can also be done at home on a regular basis with their virtual classes."
