It is time to get Heart-Savvy!
Celebrate National Heart Month with inspiring workshops
Press Release:
Wednesday, January 25th (Whistler, BC) – Canada once again celebrates National Heart Month this February and to help inspire you to adopt a lifestyle that is kind to your heart, Whistler’s Dynamic Core Fitness is hosting four educational workshops filled with what you need today to make a difference for a lifetime.
Dubbed the Heart-Savvy Orientations, the one-hour sessions will cover specifically what each individual can do in their daily life to reduce the risk of heart disease and enhance their overall quality of life.
“So much of people’s fitness choices center on the aesthetic side,” comments Dynamic Core Fitness Director Diana Rochon, “that often they forget there are numerous, powerful health benefits to exercise that are truly more important to their well-being. Because of this single-minded drive for ‘the perfect body’, I have seen individual’s actually sabotage their overall health.”
The four orientation sessions will be hosted by Rochon on Tuesdays evenings, starting February 7th, from 6 -7 pm at the Meadow Park Sports Centre. Heart-Savvy topics include “Get the Stress Out”, “Healthy Weight, Healthy Heart”, “Heart Pumping Activity” and “Heart Healthy Eating”. Each session will feature interactive handouts, informational pieces from the Heart & Stroke Foundation, as well as chance to win a Heart Savvy Training Package (body composition & cardio assessment plus a personal coaching session, a $150 value).
Besides arming yourself with the necessary information to live a heart friendly lifestyle by attending the Heart-Savvy Orientations, you will also be helping the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Dynamic Core Fitness will be donating $5 from each participant registration to the Foundation to aid in their awareness programs and continued research into heart health.
