Culver City WALK WITH A DOC

Culver City Walk With A Doc began when Mayor Jeff Cooper asked
Pediatrician Jeffrey Penso to start a walk in Culver City.  Penso had recently heard of the Walk With A
Doc program being sponsored by  Los  Angeles County Medical Association and he  was inspired to bring this program to Culver
City.  Ours begins with warm-up and
stretching with Culver Palms YMCA fitness trainer, Brandon Webb at 8:40 a,m, preceding a brief health talk at 9:00 and subsequent walk through the nearby
neighborhood. 

January 2014 was the
first in the monthly series.

Walk With A
Doc was created by an Ohio cardiologist in 2005 to help people battle conditions
such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, which are brought on by a
sedentary lifestyle.  “You realize that
there’s a really easy fix,” said creator Dr. David  Sabgir, “All you have to do is walk!”  There are currently Walk With A Doc groups in
over 100 US locations and others in Canada, Australia, and Russia.

Dr. Penso
will speak about headaches, their cause, cure and prevention and lead the walk.
Participants have the opportunity to walk side by side with the doctor and are
able to talk about health, fitness or life in general.

This month's Culver City Walk With a Doc begins with warm-up and stretching preceding a brief health talk by pediatrician, Dr. Jeff Penso and subsequent
