Pro Maxx hosts Change of Heart health event for women
Pro Maxx Fitness is hosting a Change of Heart Weekend Feb.15-16 to educate women about heart disease and motivate them to adopt a
healthier lifestyle. The event is open to all women; you don’t have to be a gym
member. Pro Maxx is at 7060 Columbia Pike, Annandale, next to Silverado’s.
Change of Heart is a grassroots program presented by SELF magazine. On Feb. 15, Dr. Keith Chu of Carient Heart & Vascular will speak
about heart disease symptoms, risk factors, and prevention. Heart disease is
the number-one killer of women, yet only one in five American women believes
that heart disease is their greatest health threat.
