"Being active provides long term benefits for your heart health and general health. It helps control weight, reduce blood pressure and cholesterol and improve your mental health - helping you look and feel great"
How are we getting on?
In preparation for the trek myself and Louise have changed our active lifestyles and made exercise a regular part of our daily routine.
Currently living 180 miles apart from each other don't have the opportunity to train together, but we make sure we remain motivated.
Training so far has involved cycling, running, swimming and general pumping iron. Our hearts are definitely noticing the improvement and the British Heart Foundation is right in saying that you feel great after it.
