Well February is here and it's time to wear some red! Not just for Valentine's day but for Heart Awareness month. Your heart is the most important muscle in your body!! Are you training it properly with cardiovascular exercise? Take your resting heart rate first thing in the morning for 3 days and then take the average to get a good idea of where you're at and it can help calculate your heart rate training zones. Check out the Karvornen formula http://exercise.about.com/cs/fitnesstools/g/karvonen.htm so you can find where you're heart rate should be while training.
The American Heart Association has also posted some great tips for a healthy heart.
