Sticking to New Year’s resolutions can be tough, especially if it
involves a commitment towards a healthier lifestyle. What better way to
start that commitment than on your feet making strides alongside a doctor
to help your heart and improve your general health to live longer at CVMC’s
monthly Walk With A Doc event?
Walk With a Doc is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to encourage healthy
physical activity in people of all ages, and reverse the consequences
of a sedentary lifestyle in order to improve the health and well-being
of the country.
Why walk?
- It improves blood pressure and blood sugar levels
- It helps maintain a healthy body weight and lowers the risk of obesity
- It enhances mental well-being
- It reduces the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, breast and colon cancer
and Type 2 diabetes.
Plan now to meet at the CVMC Fitness Plus track on the third Thursday of
every month (weather permitting) to walk with physicians, public health
champions and neighbors! The program is FREE and open to the public. Health
screenings, resources, giveaways, raffle prizes and speakers will support
all of us in getting healthier together.
Our online calendar now has the ability to add any of our events directly
to your personal calendar. Check it out
here so you’ll be sure to never miss out on a Walk With a Doc event.
