Did you know heart disease is the number one killer of women over the age of 25 in America today?
The facts don't lie, according to the American Heart Association, one woman dies from a heart attack or stroke every minute in the US. Heart Disease claims twice as many women's lives as all forms of cancer combined, including breast cancer.
Sixty percent (that's over half!) of women who die suddenly from coronary heart disease had NO previous symptoms.
To maintain a healthy heart the AHA recommends vigorously daily activity. Get your heart pumping at 50 to 75 percent of its maximum heart rate for at least 30 minutes, three to five times a week. Hit the road for a run, climb the hills for a hike or dive in for a swim and prove that you love your heart!
Don't know how to find your target heart rate?
The Mayo Clinic website provides a target heart rate calculator, making it easy to find yours!
