Breathe better. Move better. Feel stronger. 💙

Did you know improving your aerobic capacity (VO₂ max) can help support endurance, walking tolerance, heart health, and everyday mobility?

In this video, we break down simple ways to build cardiorespiratory fitness safely based on your current level — starting with steady movement and progressing to interval training when appropriate.

🏃 Start simple: 20 minutes of steady walking
⏱️ Progress gradually: Short work + recovery intervals
🗣️ Use the conversation test to guide intensity
💪 Consistency matters more than complexity

Small changes in movement can lead to meaningful improvements in energy, endurance, and long-term health.

Always check with your healthcare provider, Physical Therapist, or Occupational Therapist before beginning a new exercise routine.
