Target Cardiovascular Fitness in Heart Health Month

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that approximately every 25 seconds, an American suffers a coronary event. Heart disease continues to be the leading killer of both men and women in the United States, making it a critical point of fitness education. February is American Heart Month — an ideal time to address this issue and strengthen your individual fitness plans.

Know the risks. Prevention is key and is an essential component of any professional exercise and health plan. Brush up on your knowledge of cardiac disease risk factors, including diabetes, excessive alcohol and tobacco use, high blood pressure and cholesterol, and other dietary and lifestyle concerns.
Read the signs. Important symptoms to watch for — in everyday life and during exercise sessions — are unusual shortness of breath, nausea, or discomfort in the upper body, including chest discomfort. For more details, visit the CDC web site at www.cdc.gov.
