February is American Heart Month

Put your heart health first with GOLO

Each February, we celebrate American Heart Month, a dedicated time to focus on the organ that works hardest in our bodies every single day. Your heart powers your circulation, supports healthy blood pressure, and fuels your body for the life you love. Strong heart health isn’t just about preventing disease; it’s about feeling vibrant, strong, and confident for years to come.

At GOLO, we believe a healthy heart starts with balanced nutrition, consistent movement, and lifestyle practices that support metabolic and long-term wellness. This Heart Month, let’s explore how the GOLO for Life® Plan, smart nutrition choices, and gentle movement like exercises modified on the AeroTrainer® can help you show your heart some love.

Heart-healthy eating with GOLO

The GOLO for Life Plan is built around smart, real-food choices that can help reduce cravings, and support a healthy metabolism, all of which can help protect your heart over time.

Here’s how GOLO encourages heart-friendly nutrition:

• Fiber-rich ingredients — Veggies, fruits, and whole grains help reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and support healthy digestion.
• Lean proteins — Fish, poultry, beans, and legumes help support muscle health without excess saturated fat.
• Healthy fats — Avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil provide omega-3 and monounsaturated fats that can help nourish your heart.
• Reduced processed foods and added sugars — Avoiding these ingredients can help balance blood sugar and reduce inflammation.

Heart Month is the perfect time to recommit to meals that nourish your body and your heart. Try adding more heart-healthy staples like salmon, spinach, berries, oats, and walnuts to your GOLO-friendly meals this week.

Gentle cardio that still packs a punch: the AeroTrainer

Cardiovascular movement is essential for heart health, but not every workout needs to be high-impact or intense to be effective. That’s where the AeroTrainer comes in.

Why AeroTrainer works for your heart

The AeroTrainer is a low-impact inflatable exercise platform (like a yoga ball, but better) designed to increase heart rate while minimizing stress on your joints. That means it’s:

• Accessible for all fitness levels — beginners and seasoned movers alike.
• Easy on joints — ideal for people with arthritis, joint pain, or mobility limitations.
• Effective for cardiovascular conditioning — can help tone muscle and improve endurance and circulation.

Regular cardio, even just 30 minutes most days of the week, can help boost your heart’s efficiency, improves circulation, and supports healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Pro tip: Start with a gentle 10 – 15-minute session on the AeroTrainer and build up as you feel comfortable. Pair cardio with dynamic stretches and breathing exercises for even greater cardiovascular benefit.

American Heart Month is a reminder to pause, reflect, and make choices that support your cardiovascular wellness — not just now, but for a lifetime. With the GOLO for Life Plan, nourishing food choices, and enjoyable movement like AeroTrainer cardio, you can build a heart-healthy lifestyle that feels empowering and sustainable.

Let this month be a celebration of your health, and a commitment to the vibrant, confident life you’re creating, heart and all.
