Insight Pt. 1: American Heart Association Heart Month

Published: Jan. 28, 2022, 6:24 p.m.

b'Hope you\\u2019re staying warm and cozy through this wintery weather. You know February is heart month and in honor of it I\\u2019ve stepped up my exercise habits. I\\u2019d been working out twice a week \\u2013 some cardio and weights but I\\u2019m still working off that holiday weight gain, so I\\u2019ve decided to get in exercise every day of the week. So far, I\\u2019ve driven up to Kelly drive, parked and got my 10 thousand steps before work. I admit it \\u2013 it was so cold \\u2013 but I bundled up and before too long I had to unzip my coat. Plus getting a little bit of nature into my day really helps with my overall sense of wellbeing. Now 10k steps is a lot \\u2013 but here\\u2019s my challenge \\u2013 a new study just came out that says just 10 minutes of exercise a day will help you live longer. So, if you can\\u2019t devote a lot of time to exercise \\u2013 how about 10 minutes.

We\\u2019ll be talking about heart health with American Heart Association volunteer Scott Allen, who is defying his genetic risk for heart attack with diet and exercise.
