Mercy Health – Springfield is inviting you to take steps toward a healthier lifestyle, literally! Cardiologist Dr. Tariq Rizvi will take part in several Walk with a Doc events this year at Springfield Health and Fitness, 202 North Limestone Street, Springfield. The 2024 walks will be held on the following Saturdays:
- April 13th
- May 11th
- June 8th
- July 13th
- August 10th
- September 14th
- October 12th
- November 9th
- December 14th
Walking is a great, low impact exercise for people with all sorts of medical issues – orthopedic ailments, heart conditions, and those who are more than 20% overweight. In addition, research has shown you can gain two hours of life for each hour of regular exercise – making any extra steps worthwhile.
Walkers of all ages, fitness levels, and backgrounds are invited to attend these walks, which are scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. on the second Saturday of every month. Dr. Rizvi will begin the event with a brief discussion on heart health, and then participants can spend the rest of the hour enjoying a walk and conversation – including any questions they may have for the physician.
The walk will take place on the bike path behind the gym as long as the weather is nice. In the event of inclement weather, the event will take place in the Cardio Room. For more information, visit walkwithadoc.org or call 937-408-9565.
