Valentine's Day is one of the most well known holidays in February. It’s a special day  in which we show our love and appreciation to our significant others who make our heart race and give us butterflies in our stomachs.

The month of February is also recognized as National Heart Month. The heart is a vital organ necessary to oxygenate and pass nutrients throughout the body. As a result, it is important that we exercise daily through physical activity to ensure that our heart stays healthy enough to be with those that we love for as long as possible. The moves of the month will focus on improving cardiovascular endurance.

Core Conditioning is excited to help you achieve your fitness goals. Wake up in the morning and get some pep in your step and your heart pumping.

For the month of February we are offering a special for week day morning classes - Buy 5 classes, get one free. 

This month's recipe is a healthier gluten-free version of a fruit tart that requires a few ingredients to make and requires no baking. Create this sweet-tart for your sweetheart!
