SALT LAKE CITY — New data from the Centers for Disease Control confirms that more Americans die from cardiovascular disease than anything else. Heart disease and stroke cause 1 out of 3 deaths in the U.S.
The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital hosts a convenient way to get in the recommended daily 30 minutes of exercise using the TOSH Fit program.
The TOSH Fit program trainer, Rebecca Bennion says it's a great way to workout.
"We have fun and we laugh, and workout all at the same time," Bennion said.
The routine consists of a mix of different drills to help your heart. But, that's not the only motive.
"Our goal is to improve their strength, improve the balance, coordination, help them develop more cardio vascular fitness and just those things that tend to decrease as we age." she said.
