Heart health is super important, and if you're under 40, just about no one is talking about it! It's easy to be so focused on losing weight and looking a certain way that we forget what's really important: prepping our bodies to lead long, healthy, awesome lives. What is your heart's job in the body? What is blood pressure, other than the squeezy part of a doctor visit? How can we use our heart rate to improve our fitness? We cover it all. Plus, Daphnie tells us to suck it up in "Excuse of the Week".
