Healthy Hearts and Active Lives
Healthy Hearts & Active Lives is a program that concentrates on overall life and exercise maintenance for any person 18+ years old. As you enter this program, you will begin to take on more responsibility for your body’s well-being. You will play an active role in choosing the type of exercise that you will pursue and enjoy, and you will learn to develop your own pace of movement with help and guidance of YMCA staff.
Program Requirements:
In this program, it is vital to keep accurate and complete daily records of your exercise sessions. This information will be saved and used to help you monitor and improve your health and wellness. By keeping accurate records, you can actually watch your body change in response to the exercise you will be doing. By recording heart rates and rating of perceived exertion (RPE), you can monitor yourself to ensure that you are indeed working at your prescribed exercise level. If needed, Healthy Hearts & Active Lives staff can make copies of these records for you to take to your physician at annual check-up appointments.
