We at Walk with a Doc have always found value in setting goals, and publicizing them (our first time).  For example - our aspirations this year include expanding our walks, increasing our e-mail database, and not using the word 'amazing' (reality TV and blogging have diluted the meaning of this important superlative).  In addition, we are aiming to have 90% of our participants achieve 150 minutes/week or more of exercise, spread Ace of Base's musical message to the world, and keep our participants aware of the latest cardiovascular news.

We, again, encourage you to write down a few resolutions for yourself.  If we may be so bold, please include exercising 150 minutes/week, or more, as a goal.  If you are below 150 right now, please do not risk injury by increasing by more than 10-15% each week. Don't worry - you will get there soon enough. The studies are overwhelming and far-reaching in the benefits achieved by this level of activity every week.  For a list of our 11 most important fitness resolutions - please see the January/February issue of Walk Magazine.

 

 

 

We will be meeting at 8:30 a.m. on December 27th, Saturday morning at Polaris Mall (on my way to round at Grady) in the Food Court.  We realize this is immediately after Boxing Day - but if you are in town please join up with us.  We will share this week's news on how your dentist can prevent heart attacks. True.

 

We are well into our scheduling of physicians to participate at Walk with a Doc for the upcoming year.   We are asking the brightest, upbeat, and motivated doctors with a bedside manner to match.  If you are a doctor, and/or stay at Holiday Inn Express, expect a phone call, e-mail, or fruit basket in your near future. If you receive one of the former two, please take no offense - we have no money to order fruit baskets (vacuum payments).
