Cardiac Rehab

Cardiac Rehab has three equally important parts:

• Exercise counseling and training: Exercise gets your heart pumping and your entire cardiovascular system working. You’ll learn how to get your body moving in ways that promote heart health.
• Education for heart-healthy living: A key element of rehab is educating yourself: How can you manage your risk factors? Quit smoking? Make heart-healthy nutrition choices?
• Counseling to reduce stress: Stress hurts your heart. This part of rehab helps you identify and tackle everyday sources of stress.
