With Seattle weather so unpredicatable lately, Queen Anne Medical Weight Loss* was graced with a spectacular day of sun for our Experience Rowing Event!
Directed by LWRC's Mike Rucier and Andy Rees - and with assistance from Kim Biggs - our group took an eight for a tour of Lake Union.
The group of six "losers"- who has lost a collective 300 pounds on our Program - was elated!
Nobody fell in; we got back to the dock intact. Better yet, one of our members committed to a Learn-to-Row Class with her husband for later in the season.
This is no small victory for a group of folks who have typically stayed away from physical exercise - particularly activity with the intensity of rowing. Our Program's purpose, of course, is to make such activities approachable. Hopefully, such exercise will become a lifelong part of an effective weight management strategy.
(To that end, our group is hosting a Kayak Event June 12 at Northwest Outdoor Center!)
Sincere thanks to Mike, Andy, and Kim - and to LWRC - for hosting this picture-perfect event. We hope it's the first of many!
Take care,
Linda Gromko, MD
