Talk topic for this coming walk on Wednesday evening: Microplastics -why they are a risk to our health and actionable steps that we all can take to lower the impact from microplastics on our health.

Microplastics have been found in heart artery blockages and tumor biopsies. We cover our food in plastic wrap. We use dishwashers and laundry pods with plastic films over the detergents. Microplastics are everywhere.

We will be walking together as a group around the Brookline Reservoir (a lovely relaxing spot) and doing stretching exercises and a mini-session on improving gait/balance. Knowing and practicing these exercises can decrease the risk for falls and fractures. Both the stretching and mini-session will be led by the certified personal trainer, SueZee.

So, please, come join us at the Brookline Reservoir this coming Wednesday evening - Aug 7th at 6 PM.

For those who would like to BYOP - bring your own picnic dinner and blanket - arrive at the reservoir at 5 PM.

New/first-time walkers with us - please show up 15 minutes early at 5:45 PM for a small introduction to our chapter/health event.

Additional details:

Dr. Donna Michelson runs a Walk-with-a-Doc chapter in the Brookline-Newton area. The walking group organizes regular events that involve a free walk around the Brookline Reservoir with a friendly group of walkers. Beginner walkers are welcome! There will be a short health talk at the beginning of each walk, and Susan Zwerling, PhD, will be doing warm-up and cool-down exercises before and after the walks. The purpose is just to get people out and walking and, in the process, developing a sense of community while enjoying the health benefits of walking together.

Location: Brookline Park Reservoir – Brookline, MA 02445. You can enter 128 Dudley Street in your GPS. We’ll meet across the street at the intersection of Dudley St and Dudley Way. Parking is free and plentiful on Dudley Way and Dudley Street bordering the reservoir.
