Fall Into Fitness! In the U.S., one in four females has cardiovascular disease and a woman dies of cardiovascular disease every minute. In a recent American Heart Association survey, 76 percent of women said that physical activity is important to them, but only 28 percent said they get the recommended amount. A live Web chat, titled "Fall Into Fitness," with television personality and health advocate Joan Lunden, spokesperson for the American Heart Association's Choose To Move program was held October 6, 2005 at 9:15 pm ET on www.healthywomen.org, the Web site of the National Women's Health Resource Center (NWHRC). Ms. Lunden answered questions on how to increase physical activity and build healthy habits to lower risk for heart disease and stroke.
