Dr. Newby, a devoted cardiologist and community leader, greeted his audience this morning with a message packed with purpose and positivity. Bundled up against the cool air, with his jacket layered over his white coat, Dr. Newby shared a glimpse of his day—and a call to action for everyone listening.
“It’s a little cool out, but I feel pretty good,” he said with a smile. “It’s time to get out, get busy, get walking, and do something!”
Dr. Newby highlighted the importance of regular physical activity, referencing the American Heart Association’s recommendation of 30 minutes of moderate activity, five days a week. For Dr. Newby, walking to and from the hospital provides his daily dose of movement. His advice? Find ways to incorporate activity into your routine.
“Make it part of your day,” he encouraged. “I look forward to hearing that you guys are doing the same!”
But physical activity wasn’t the only thing on Dr. Newby’s mind. With election season in full swing, he urged everyone to exercise another kind of power: their right to vote.
“Get out there and make your voice heard,” he emphasized. “Nobody wants to hear complaints about the government if you’re not out there doing your civic duty.”
Dr. Newby addressed a common sentiment—that voting doesn’t make a difference—with his usual straightforward and optimistic tone:“People always tell me voting doesn’t matter. But if you never go vote, how do you know what difference you might or might not be making?”
In his signature style, Dr. Newby tied his message together with a focus on action and responsibility:“Get your physical activity on and get your vote on. Whatever party you’re affiliated with, I don’t care—just make sure you’re out here trying to make a difference in this world.”
Dr. Newby’s morning reflections remind us that every effort, whether for personal health or civic engagement, contributes to a better future. His blend of encouragement and accountability challenges us to step up—both literally and figuratively—and take charge of our health, our communities, and our impact.
So, bundle up if it’s cool, lace up your walking shoes, and head to the polls. Every step and every vote counts!
