Walk with a Doc Boston

12/15/2022

Blustery December weather wasn't tough enough to keep these tough cookies from joining Walk with a Doc Boston today! We learned about "Holiday Heart Syndrome," the development of an arrhythmia called atrial fibrillation after consumption of greater than usual quantities of alcohol and salt, while discussing the guidelines on alcohol consumption and health risks of drinking too much during this merry time.

Walk with a Doc Boston closed out October amidst the breathtaking fall foliage around our pond. We learned about the health benefits of stretching and had a great time getting to know each other! Join us next time -- every Wednesday evening!

Walk with a Doc Boston conquered the middle of the week and cooling temperatures by learning about the health benefits of interval training and immediately practicing ourselves! The crisp fall air, beautiful sunset, and conversation with new friends helped made for pure joy.

What an incredible evening we had yesterday with Walk with a Doc Boston! We welcomed new faces as we learned about the science of habit formation / behavior change and soaked in the beauty of the changing leaves and evening sky. Come join us again next Wednesday!

A misty Fall drizzle didn't stop this strong squad from turning out for the first Walk with a Doc of October! We talked about the importance of sedentary behavior (low energy activities like watching TV or using a computer in a seated/reclined/laying down position) as a risk factor for obesity, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and death -- possibly independent of how much exercise we get! Looking forward to nicer weather next week and more wonderful walks together.

And we're off! Walk With A Doc Boston launched today with 14 walkers completing the 1.5-mile loop around Jamaica Pond and experiencing exercise as medicine. We reviewed what most guidelines recommend for physical activity, the difference between moderate and vigorous intensity, and how to tell what the intensity of your exercise is. Most of all, we showed up and got to connect with others through movement. More fun to come next week -- and every week!
