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?
Good to get the word out! Today, since I have worked my heart big time Sunday – Thursday, I am resting form the heart stuff & will be abs/core/stretching only. I think if you have read my cardio posts, I did enough the past 5 days to last me into today!

I added 20 minutes of HIIT following my Stage 1 A6 New Rules workout this morning! It felt really good. And I hit the 100 pound mark.

I didn’t know this, but it’s another reason I’m glad I did my jogging today and even did some good weight training at the gym.
Thanks for the info. Have a great weekend!

Oh and I’ve been making your protein pancakes and LOVE them!! I made them for hubby this morning. He was kind of nervous about the cottage cheese in them but he thought they were fantastic when he tried them.
