Keep your heart healthy and aim for at least 2.5 hours of moderate physical activity every week. Doing heart healthy activities with a friend will keep both of you inspired for the long run. Invite a friend to walk with you regularly. Join an exercise class at the community center with a neighbor and carpool to make sure you both show up. Organize a weekly game of basketball with your friends.

Did you know that HVCC has a Nature Trail? Did you know that a typical 160-pound person of average height will burn about 40 calories per 1,000 steps. This is the equivalent of 0.04 calories per step! Keep moving! Small changes make a BIG difference!
