A Healthier Cardiovascular System, Made Simple

On average someone dies of cardiovascular disease every 34 seconds. 

Every 40 seconds someone will have a heart attack. 

Strokes account for 1 in every 21 deaths in the US. (2024 data from heart.org)

Cardiovascular disease is still the number one cause of death in the world.

I recommend them before stretching to allow for easier stretching. 

When is the best time to stretch?

Before and after a workout for a few minutes and do a longer session on a Sunday, like me. 

3 sets of 20 second holds per muscle of a stretch are what have been found to be quite beneficial according to the research. 

When exercise seems to be an insurmountable feat due to time, why not add in a little stretch? 

The stretch mechanism helps promote vascular repair, maintenance and preservation of stretching capabilities. 

It now seems the more mobile, limber and stretchy you are the better it is for your cardiovascular system.
