February is National Heart Month, and on Feb. 3, the Florida Hospital East Florida Region celebrated the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Day with a jump rope challenge for employees.
“Any activity is really good for your heart and your lungs, and jumping rope is no exception. It increases bone and muscle strength, as well as endurance” Trish Celano, Florida Hospital East Florida Region chief clinical officer, said in a press release. “Jumping rope is a fun activity that brings us back to our childhood, but don’t be fooled, it is a great exercise! Studies have shown that jumping rope is just as effective as running. In fact, just 10 minutes of jump roping is the equivalent of running an eight-minute mile.”
