Regular exercise is an easy and effective way to keep your heart strong healthy. Regular activity prevents and manages conditions such as high cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar, all factors that affect heart conditions such as heart disease, stroke, heart attack and atrial fibrillation (AFIB).
Workouts are a key component of our StrongHearts program, and our StrongHearts team members walk us through three exercises that improve heart health, are bariatric-friendly and appropriate for all fitness levels.
