Heart Fitness

Have a heart is something you might hear if you’re not treating someone nicely. Yet how often do we not stop and treat our own heart nicely? We can all agree that having a heart is a good thing and just like a certain credit card – we’d never leave home without it. So then why do 25% of adults not bother to exercise at all?

When we stop and think that three out of five adults are not regularly active, we have to wonder just how important their heart is to them. Regular physical activity is an important part of maintaining cardiovascular health and an overall healthy lifestyle. So why do we ignore our heart fitness?
