February is American Heart Month. There are so many ways that you can improve your heart health and reduce your risk of heart disease, and preventing high blood pressure is one. If you’ve already been diagnosed with hypertension and take medications to manage it, these healthy habits still apply and are just as important as taking your blood pressure medication!

Prevent High Blood Pressure | cdc.gov You can practice healthy living habits, such as eating a healthy diet and being physically active, to help prevent high blood pressure. Learn more.

Have a healthy week!

We love and utilize heart rate monitoring at Accel. Check this out to learn more about zone training and more specifically about the benefits of using zone 2.

How to Burn the Most Fat!! Cat Kom is a big fan of Zone 2 Training and is here to share what it is, the benefits, and why everyone should incorporate it.

Low Intensity Steady State, aka LISS, is a great addition. You don’t have to go all out all the time as far as intensity goes, in fact, it puts you at risk for injury. Pick a day and go for a walk to get some time in zone 2. Check out tomorrow’s video to see more info zone 2 and why it’s important.

Get started…there’s only 2 more days in January. Have a healthy week!

Catch one these live classes this week or choose from over 1500 Studio Sweat on Demand classes at a time that works for you!

You’ve probably heard that you should get 8 eight ounce glasses of water per day but that is an estimate. A more accurate way is to shoot for drinking HALF of your body weight in ounces of water per day. In other words, if you weigh 150 pounds, you should aim for 75 ounces of water daily. Now do the math for what size container you normal drink out of, ie Stanley, 16.9 oz bottle, and you will know how many you need daily. Add more for your workouts.

If you are super self conscious about working out in front of others because you don’t want to feel watched or judged or because you don’t know what to do or how to use equipment, we’ve got the perfect place for you! Get the equipment without the audience and an instructor that will lead you through a workout full of motivation and modifications for your fitness level, live or virtually! Choose from spin, Pilates, boxing, sculpt, yoga, barre, and more!

Have a great week! Can’t believe how fast January has gone!😳😳😳. Here is your wake up call to get back to those resolutions and goals you made.😉

Consistency is key! You can’t hop on every trendy workout or diet and expect magic results in a week. Pick one and give it time. Better yet, forget the trendy stuff, go old school and eat a healthy diet MOST of the time combined with your favorite exercise 3-5 times a week and with long term consistency, you will slowly see results. Not the magic kind of results that social media influencers like to sell you on!

Happy Monday! If you want to FEEL better, you have to DO better!
