Heartbeats Presentation on Exercise and Cardiac Rehabiliation

Trent Lash from Heartbeats

Heartbeats is hosting a presentation by Matthew Wood, M.Sc. (Exercise Physiology) from AUT Millennium Centre on exercise-based cardiac and wellbeing rehabilitation after a heart event.
Heart attack and heart disease affects 1:3 people (31%).
Its tough to 'get back on the horse' and not feel that you own body could kill you at any time.
You feel you have lost control of your living and you are alone.
WRONG on both counts.
A clinically-led exercise programme coupled with a reasonable heart healthy diet and some emotional support, will give you back a long and fulfilling life.
WHERE: Hibiscus Coast Community House (behind Estuary Arts Centre) 214 Hibiscus Coast Highway, Orewa.
WHEN: 10:00am - 11:00am on TUESDAY, 7th May.
It's FREE. All heart event survivors and those facing heart surgery of any kind, are very WELCOME. Bring along your spouse, partner and family.
For more information: Call Trent on 0220 606 199
