Track Your Exercise and
Eating Habits

Regular aerobic physical activity increases a person's capacity for exercise. It also plays a role in both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. There is a relationship between physical inactivity and cardiovascular mortality.

Taking care of your heart is one of the most important things you can do in life. Planning a diet and an activity program is the key to success. You can easily prepare yourself by:

•  Being committed to change.

•  Setting specific and realistic goals.

•  Thinking about possible roadblocks.

•  Deciding how to deal with problems.

•  Not being discouraged by minor setbacks.

Tracking your exercise and eating habits in a log is a great place to begin!
