How often do you prioritize your health? You are probably one among the many who commits to a healthier lifestyle at the start of the year. You come up with a New Year’s resolution to slim down, eat healthy and exercise more. But as to how long you stick with the plan really depends on how strong the motivation is to stay fit – be it for aesthetic or health reasons. Wanting to stay fit and feel better does not necessarily translate to matching your actions with your desire. The latter is far more challenging... it does require going the distance.

First things first, keep the heart healthy! The heart is a hard-working muscle that pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood as it contracts and expands about 100,000 times per day. That's why it is important to keep it in tiptop shape.

The key to good heart health is basically making the right lifestyle choices. As you know, abdominal fat is a telltale sign for lifestyle change as it is often linked to heart disease along with other major health issues. Studies showed that men with greater than 40 inches waistline and women with greater than 34 inches have the highest risk of heart disease. To lose the belly fat, you will need a well-rounded exercise program that includes both cardio and strength training. Activities such as bicycling, brisk walking, dancing or jogging elevate the heart and breathing rate, drawing upon fat that is stored for energy.
