 In
our endeavour to raise awareness of heart disease and
encourage women to live healthier lives. This week Women
Fitness brings you, Top 10 Secrets to a Healthier Heart.
Make sure to Go Red this Friday (February 6th) for Women Day — wear red
to raise awareness for heart disease, the number 1
killer of women. The color red has been symbolically
chosen because it is the color of blood and represents
vitality, strength and power. As a result, it is a
powerful representation of healthy hearts.

Moderate is the key phrase. During moderate
exercise, you should be able to speak but not
sing. Walking at 100 steps a minute equals
moderate. There are benefits if you push that
little bit harder. If you move to a higher
intensity, you get greater benefit for your
heart and respiratory system.
