The best way to reduce your risk of heart disease is through a healthy diet and active lifestyle. The American Heart Association suggests at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise or 75 minutes per week of vigorous exercise (or a combination of both). That's just 30 minutes a day, five times a week! Lady Foot Locker wants you to be prepared with the right shoes and clothing to get you moving:

  • Physical activity is anything that will get your body moving and burn calories, which, in turn, will get your heart pumping. If you are looking for a training shoe that is made for everything from dancing to kickboxing, try the Nike Free TR Twist. The flexible sole will work with any activity you choose.
  • Taking your daily walk or run outdoors is a great way to diversify your workout. If you are looking to start running, the right footwear is essential in order to protect your feet. The Asics Kayano 18 is a reliable sneaker choice by runners, known for its fit and function. The American Heart Association also recommends spending time outdoors as sunlight on your skin helps your body produce vitamin D, resulting in additional health benefits.
  • Proper support and confidence in your apparel are key to a successful workout. Finding the right sports bra, one that provides comfort and mobility, is the foundation for any physical activity.  
  • If you're looking for a fun way to express yourself even while working out, own it with exclusive graphic tees. They will be extra motivation to help you stay on the right track while making a statement about who you are.

Lady Foot Locker knows that looking good means feeling good, so start working towards a healthier you this February.
