World Heart Day
❤️ Today is World Heart Day.
We talk a lot about strengthening our legs, our core and the other muscles in our body, but there's another very important muscle working away every minute of every day — our heart.
Exercise for heart health helps challenge the cardiovascular system, and regular movement is an important part of looking after our health and challenging the cardiovascular system.
And it doesn't have to mean spending hours in the gym. Getting out for a brisk walk, moving more throughout the day and including regular exercise all contribute to keeping us active.
It's easy to focus on the changes we can see when we exercise — feeling stronger, moving better or noticing changes in our body — but some of the most important benefits are the ones we can't see.
So today, perhaps give a little thought to the muscle that's been working for you all day, every day. ❤️
Move for your heart.
