Did you know? February is Heart Health Month. Here’s how Gravity Haus keeps your ticker strong.
Heart disease steals the lives of 2,200 Americans each day. The good news: Most cardiovascular issues are preventable with a little education and simple proactive lifestyle steps.
Here’s how your friends at Gravity Haus can help show your heart some love:
Get your heart rate up at Dryland Fitness.
The American Heart Association recommends five 30-minute moderate exercise sessions each week. We’ve got the badass coaches, the workouts and the machines to keep your pulse elevated on the regular.
FEEL THE COMMUNITY LOVE.
Gravity Haus is all about stressing less and connecting more. We bring like-minded outdoor-loving adventurers together for tastings, tours, retreats and fitness-focused excursions.
Join a Gravity Haus JoinMe or sign up to learn a new skill this winter. A happy heart is a healthy heart. Making time for connecting with others and hobbies helps relieve stress and improves your overall mood.
EAT SMARTER WITH CLEAN FUEL.
A sustainably sourced diet full of heart-smart foods is essential to healthy living. Salmon, nuts, berries and oats are just a few of the heart superfoods found on our restaurant menus.
BUILD MORE MUSCLE.
Head back into Dryland and take that BrickHaus class you’ve been eyeing. Strength training compliments cardiovascular exercise by toning muscle and burning fat. The American Heart Association recommends squeezing in two days of high-intensity strength training each week.
Chill out and recover.
Stress increases cortisol, which leads to weight gain, a key risk factor for heart disease. So take the time to zen out in our hot tubs, saunas, spas and Unravel cafes. Add positive self-talk and mindful meditation breaks throughout the day.
Get more sleep.
Skip I-70 traffic (talk about stressful) and its white-knuckled frustration and spend the night at Gravity Haus where plush eco-bedding and amenities await. Get a great night’s rest, sleep in and hit the slopes after a leisurely morning. Sleep restores the body and increases overall happiness. Your heart will thank you.
HOT TIP:
Did you know eight hugs a day can keep the doc away? We’ve tried it. It works! Hold your loved ones close and remember to treat each day as a gift. Our hearts are smiling just thinking about it.
