 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. A lot of the times people just think about the cardio machines when they're putting together their weekly routine. Don't forget about some weight exercises, some lightweight exercises that are going to have some larger movements provide that cardiovascular exercise that you're looking for and work on the strength for you too. Alicia is now going to perform a push press where she's going to hold onto the ball, keep it right at chest level she's going to squat down as she stands up she presses the ball over top of her head engaging the shoulders, the core when the ball is all the way up at the top and of course the legs as we're doing a squat. She can perform this for either a high volume of reps or a large amount of time. 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.
