What gets your heart pumping?
- Your Valentine
- A good workout
- Music on your iPod
- All of the above
For me, it’s all of the above (with the exception of the Valentine part, but I’ll take that up with cupid).
You know what else tugs at my heart strings? Organizations like the American Heart Association and fitlosophy that are helping countless people live healthier lives. Today I join these two organizations along with a network around the globe in the BLOG YOUR HEART OUT DAY campaign to SPEAK UP about heart disease, the number 1 killer of women.
Many forms of heart disease are preventable so I’m going to ask you on behalf of your Valentine to go see your doctor for a heart screening. And, to encourage you to join the Go Red For Women movement and get your heart pumping I’m going to propose a Random Acts of Fitness & Spice BLOG YOUR HEART OUT DAY challenge.
If you accept the BLOG YOUR HEART OUT DAY challenge you will be entered to WIN a $25 iTunes Gift Card. All you need to do is tell us in the comments section:
1. That you joined the Go Red movement
2. What music is on your workout playlist that gets your heart pumping (exercise IS a key to prevention, afterall!)
And speaking of heart pumping music, you can also score some serious extra credit points by adding this love song to your iPod:
Enter the drawing here by 11:59 P.M. on Saturday, February 13th and the winner of the iTunes Gift Card will be announced on Valentine’s Day!
Now I really must go join the Kool kids at the American Heart Association and GO RED!
