A career with heart
Not all exercises are created equal. Some are intended to strengthen your core or tighten your abs. Others attempt to build up biceps or whittle down waists.
But exercise that addresses cardiopulmonary health as well as stress and weight management is the only type that improves an individual’s quality of life.
Think about it. With a career in exercise science, you could actually be a lifesaver.
