Exercise is Medicine: Walk with A Doc

Join the Northwest community for a 1-mile walk on the campus.

• Hear about physical activity benefits from Dr. John Symonds, a family medicine physician with Mosaic Life Care.
• Warm up with applied health science students

• Learn walking mechanics to burn more calories, work muscles more effectively and improve joint movements for your walking workouts

• Walk one mile with Northwest employees, students and community members in support of Exercise is Medicine's vision and goals.

Exercise testing students will conduct optional V02Max tests, which are considered the best indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance.

Immediately following the event, attendees can have more fun at Cat Combine events such as vertical jump, broad jump, 40-yard dash, shuttle run and L drill.
