Presented By Joanna Sutter, fitnessandspice
Too many women die each year because they are unaware that heart disease is their #1 killer.
One in three women suffers in silence, and almost one woman dies every minute of this largely preventable disease.
In support of Go Red For Women and the American Heart Association, fitlosophy inc. is sponsoring a 12-week BLOG YOUR HEART OUT campaign to create awareness and to encourage people to speak up against heart disease.
As part of this initiative, fitlosophy has selected five bloggers to SPEAK UP and share their personal stories in an effort to raise awareness through social media methods such as blogs, twitter, and facebook.
I am a proud member of the BLOG YOUR HEART OUT team who will be blogging our way through the American Heart Association’s BetterU program – a free online 12-week nutrition & fitness makeover. I’d like to introduce you to the team and invite you to tag along as we blog our way through the process and drive women to join the Go Red Movement online at GoRedForWomen.org.
