Blog Your Heart Out Day

Did you know today is Blog Your Heart Out Day?  This is to raise awareness of heart disease in women.  Heart disease is the #1 killer of women.  It seems that as women, we all focus on breast cancer, but heart disease is the truly underestimated disease – and one that we have direct control over.

Did you know:

  • Heart disease kills 1 woman every single minute?
  • 90% of all women have at least 1 risk factor for heart disease
  • 80% of cardiac events in women may be prevented by making the right choices involving diet, exercise and not smoking. 80%!!

Fitlosophy and The American Heart Association are teaming up for a free 12-week program you can follow to strengthen your heart!

Spread the word.  Grab another woman and get out for a walk, some exercise, a healthy shopping trip, or even just to sit down and talk about heart disease.

You all know I love to move.  What are you doing for your heart today?
