Look after your love muscle

With Valentine’s Day approaching many hearts will be fluttering with thoughts of romantic meals and gifts, but how can we make sure that our hearts only ever flutter through romance and it doesn’t get broken for real?
  
We need to focus on our hearts every day to live longer and healthier lives. The heart is the most important muscle and just a small amount of cardio exercise will keep it functioning properly. Even as little as ten minutes a day can make a huge difference. 

I know a lot of guys who get a lot of exercise on Valentine’s Day by running around at the last minute trying to get a gift for their partners but if they were to do that every day  it would really improve the health of their heart!
 
The three S’s are what you really need to cut out:
·       Smoking
·       Saturated fats
·       Salts.

Smokers are twice as likely as non-smokers to have heart disease and quitting is a no- brainer with all the health issues it can cause.

There are lots of hidden saturated fats and salts in processed food, fast food and ready meals I would strongly advise people to check the content of the ingredients of any food they buy.
 
To encourage people to ditch the chocolates and focus on exercise instead this year we are sharing the love and inviting couples to work up a sweat together at Kettlercise, 6:20pm on Valentines Day for FREE.

Make sure you spend a lifetime of Valentines together.
