Heart, Love and Exercise
The Pinnacle Challenge
A Healthy Heart
Healthy Living
February is not only the month of love, but it is also the American Heart Month. Feeding your heart with exercise, healthy eating and yearly physicals is the way to keep your heart pumping as you challenge and maintain your physical fitness. Here are some ideas to keep your heart healthy while loving yourself in the process:
Love Thyself The mirror is your friend not the enemy! Pick something you love about your body and say "I love my ______!" Positive reinforcement does wonders for your mind and spirit.
Fish is Hearty Salmon is one of the best sources of protein and omega-3 fatty acids that help promote a healthy heart. Grill it, broil it or poach it. You can even try it raw for appetizers or breakfast. With its versatility, salmon is easy to eat twice a week.

This is a great way to re-energize a relationship with the one you love and share the challenge and experience of a mental and physical weekend!
