Life's Simple Seven - Get Active

(February 16, 2017) - February is Heart Month and CMC, as the New Hampshire sponsor of the American Heart Association’s Life is Why campaign, wants to remind you of the AHA’s simple seven ways to get and stay heart healthy. Our fifth example highlights one man who committed to getting active.

 

For Michael McFadden, heart problems run in the family. In the 1990s, both he and his twin brother had stents put in and his older brother had triple bypass surgery. “While recovering (from surgery) a person from CMC called me and strongly suggested getting into cardiovascular wellness.” Twenty years later, McFadden still faithfully works out three times a week. With his family history, McFadden has, “no intention of stopping. I know the exercise helps and if I wind up with future (heart) events, I want to be physically fit and ready for it.”
