According to the American Heart Association**, adults should be getting 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week to maintain good heart health. Regular exercise doesn't just strengthen your heart – it improves your body's oxygen utilization, helps maintain healthy blood pressure, and supports better glucose levels.

To help all fitness levels strengthen both their hearts and bodies, and encourage them to remain focused on fitness resolutions, Planet Fitness' National Lead Trainer, Teddy Savage, has some tips on incorporating heart-pumping workouts:

• High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): Doing exercises such as lunges, squat jumps, or burpees for a time interval of around 40 seconds helps raise heart rate and energy levels. Not only does this build your muscle mass, but it will also boost that heart strength.
• Mobility and Joint Health: Incorporating mobility style workouts that feature movements such as hip openers or bear crawls can help bring blood flow to the muscles and lubricate joints.
• Partner Power Workouts: Winter blues don't stand a chance when getting stronger with a friend. PF Black Card® members can bring a guest for free anytime, making it easy to team up for partner exercises like medicine ball squat tosses, alternating lunge ball exchanges, partner leg pushdowns, and other dynamic combo movements that make working out more fun and engaging. 
• Mindfulness & Mental Strength: Release winter stress with yoga-inspired moves such as warrior 1 and 2, triangle pose, and downward dog, designed to ground thoughts while stretching and strengthening muscles.

"This Heart Health Month, it's important to note that both strength training and cardio are great ways to increase aerobic activity for a healthy heart," said Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer at Planet Fitness. "Whether you're using the new plate-loaded strength equipment or getting stronger through HIIT exercises and partner workouts, Planet Fitness provides a welcoming community where everyone can focus on their heart health and strengthening their goals together."

Planet Fitness is offering new plate-loaded strength equipment in more than 1,700 locations—with plans to expand to all 2,700+ clubs by the end of 2025—to further meet consumers' evolving needs. The introduction of these new machines like the Magnum Supine Bench Press, Magnum Hack Squat, and Seated Calf ensures members can focus on building strength and achieving their fitness goals, no matter how big or small.
