February is the Month of Heart Health!

February has been recognized as the American Heart Health Awareness Month since February of 1964. The purpose of the month is to discuss and, obviously, bring awareness to heart disease and potential for stroke in America. Heart disease is on the rise in America with the popularity of fast food and a decrease in physical activity. February is a month to recognize our own health patterns and encourage the changing of behaviors that put us at risk for heart disease and stroke. At Source Ortho, we believe heart health and awareness does not simply belong in our lives through the month of February, rather, we encourage an all-year-round awareness to our daily lives, which is why I am going to give you some tools you need to practice your best heart health. One of the best recommended solutions to reducing your risk for heart disease is exercise, specifically cardio. That is why we have curated a list of all our favorite cardio machines, perfect for adding to your daily heart-health routine!
