It’s our MOST IMPORTANT MUSCLE

and it’s so much MORE than a muscle!

The heart weighs just under 1 pound …. UNDER 1 POUND!  It beats about 2.5 BILLION times over a lifetime.  Only in the last 100 years have we had an explosion of science and research to understand heart function, heart disease, heart health… and all of it tells us to GET ACTIVE and STAY ACTIVE for a lifetime!

BRISK WALKING is all it takes.  What exactly defines brisk? Walking 3.0 – 3.9 miles per hour, or 15-20 minutes per mile, is considered brisk.  The majority of our miles are at least 4.0 miles per hour – you almost always get a 15 min/mile with our DVDs!  Many of ours even offer the FAST 12 min/mile walks!  No matter how you do it, your BRISK WALK means a STRONGER, HEALTHIER HEART.  And you know what that means: a longer, healthier, and happier life!

Researchers say if you walk briskly for three hours a week, about 15 miles total, men and women will reduce the risk for coronary heart disease by 30 to 40 percent!! This is HUGE NEWS!  15 miles a week is about 3 miles a day.  45 minutes of your day TODAY could mean extra healthy years down the road to spend with your family and friends! And remember: you don’t have to do walk it all at once!  Split it up – make your “WALKouts” convenient for you so that you can STICK TO IT!

Walk for a healthier you from the INSIDE-OUT!

Happy MONDAY!!!
