 Hi, guys. This is Matt Posaka, personal training director at Meridian Fitness and Wellness in Brick. Wanted to talk today about some heart health, some different cardiovascular activities you can do to strengthen your heart, improve your cardiovascular endurance, and improve your overall fitness level to be a healthier person. The most popular machine for cardiovascular training at any gym is going to be the treadmill. All right. As you get started on the treadmill, assess your pace, your fitness level. This is really a great place for any ability. So right now, we can see Alicia's got a nice jog pace going here. Her heart rate is going to be elevated. This is a pace for her that she'll be able to maintain, burn a lot of calories on this machine while you're jogging, and maybe even track her mileage while she's going as well. That could be a more advanced option for you. The far majority of treadmills are going to have heart rate monitors for you. On this particular piece, it's right in front, the silver pads that Alicia's putting her hands on right now. The treadmill is going to actually monitor your heart rate for you throughout your workout. Before you start an exercise program, make sure you consult your physician to see if there's any contraindications that you should be aware of.
