Improve your fitness and heart health - Cardiovascular program for high blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight loss
Ever had the frightening sensation of chest pain, or shortness of breath?
Perhaps your Doctor's said you're at risk of heart attack - a ticking time bomb?
Are you taking mountains of medications just
to keep your cholesterol and blood pressure under control?
Are you losing your fitness for the stairs, to go for a walk,
and play with the grandkids?
Do you want a program that’s safe and simple, that you can stick with?
You're not alone. Every day, nearly 300 Australians suffer a heart attack or a stroke, with most of these people being 45 years or older. Cardiovascular disease (conditions of the heart and blood vessels) is the underlying cause of 26% of all deaths every year. So it’s no wonder that drugs to lower blood pressure and cholesterol are the most common prescription medicines in Australia. Hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, physical inactivity, poor fitness, and obesity are some of the biggest risk factors for heart attack and stroke. The good news is that we can improve your heart health, and it’s surprisingly easy.
