The New Year is a great time to get in shape! Walking or running are great exercises to get in shape, but with the chilly temperatures, exercising outside may not be ideal for you. Finding a local gym, such as The Health Club, will help. Visit buff.ly/2BXw802 to find out more about The Health Club.⠀ ⠀ If you’re not sure your lungs are healthy enough for exercise, Norman Regional Pulmonary Clinic can help! The Pulmonary Clinic offers Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) to evaluate your exercise capacity. It is a non-invasive procedure where a patient uses a treadmill while monitored by a health professional. Call 405-515-4888 to learn more. #newyearhealthieryou
