Mo Smith joins KOTV - News On 6's LeAnne Taylor to share how getting started with exercise doesn't have to mean hours in the gym or intense workouts. Smith, an exercise expert with Bailey Bariatrics, says the key to success is simple: set a goal, make a plan and start small. Just 10 to 15 minutes of activity can help build strength, stamina and confidence over time. Simple beginner-friendly exercises like chair sits, wall push-ups, marching in place, arm circles and calf raises can help you take that first step toward a healthier lifestyle.

Not every hernia looks or feels the same. Different types can develop in different areas of the abdomen or groin, but many share common symptoms like a visible bulge, discomfort or pain that worsens with lifting, coughing or standing.

If you notice these signs, don't ignore them. Schedule an appointment with your primary care provider to discuss your symptoms and determine whether you need additional evaluation or treatment.

It only takes one awkward step, hard tackle or unexpected fall for a foot or ankle injury to disrupt your daily life. Timothy McConn, D.P.M., FACFAS, understands because he's been there himself.

As a Tulsa native, Dr. McConn was introduced to the medical field through his participation in sports. His personal experience with athletic injuries makes it easy for him to relate to you as his patient.

“As an athlete, I suffered several injuries that required surgeries,” he said. “Because I have gone through the same thing that my patients are experiencing, I am better able to understand them as they make important decisions regarding their health.”

Dr. McConn's here to help with:
• Trauma care for the foot and ankle
• Ankle arthritis management
• Deformity correction
• Sports medicine for foot and ankle injuries
• Total ankle arthroplasty (ankle replacement)
• Minimally invasive procedures for repairing ankle sprains and bunions
• Achilles tendon disorders (including acute injuries) treatment
• Minimally invasive bunion surgery
• Treatment for ankle instability and foot and ankle fractures
• Hindfoot and ankle reconstruction
• Flat foot reconstruction
• Cavus foot reconstruction

Dr. McConn trained at one of the country's top foot and ankle fellowships — Weil Foot, Ankle and Orthopedic Institute in Chicago — focusing on sports medicine and total ankle replacement. Today, he continues to publish research on Achilles tendon injuries, ankle arthroscopy and forefoot reconstruction, and to lead lectures and labs across Oklahoma and the United States.
