Fitness and Exercise

Shape Up the Smart Way

Fitness can be measured in many ways – body mass index, blood pressure, and waistline. But the tape measures and gauges can’t tell you how much more energized and self-confident you’ll feel when you get in shape. What’s more, exercising and eating right can help dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, and many other diseases. Once you start a regular fitness routine, you’ll strengthen and tone muscles, shed a few pounds, and even reduce stress and anxiety.

Whether you need help with weight management or assistance dealing with chronic health conditions, Virtua’s fitness programs can help you reach your personal fitness goals.
