are healthier when we move together!
Physical activity is a great way to help protect your heart from heart disease. Keep your heart healthy and aim for at least 2 1/2 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. Enjoy active time with your family.
