Plan a Staycation Targeted at Preserving Your Heart Health This February

With February marking American Heart Month, this is the perfect time to plan a wellness staycation targeted at preserving the health and well-being of your trusty ticker. Here are a number of great destinations to help you get your wheels turning and your blood pumping:

Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa:  Just two short hours north of Atlanta, Brasstown Valley Resort is nestled in the North Georgia Mountains. Between 18 holes of championship golf, stables offering trail-riding on horseback, and a wealth of meandering hiking trails, it’s a snap to get that heart beating while enjoying the scenic beauty of the area.

Doubletree by Hilton Atlanta – Buckhead: This full-service hotel in the heart of Buckhead offers complimentary access to LA Fitness and the 24-hour fitness center on-site – not to mention all of the walking you can do to and from nearby Lenox and Phipps Plaza. The more bags you carry home, the better the aerobic workout!

Renaissance Waverly Hotel: This hotel features a beautiful on-site facility boasting 24-hour keycard access, treadmills, stationary bikes, stair steppers, strength machines, indoor lap pool, racquetball courts, nautilus, free weights and cardio.

The Westin Peachtree Plaza: Like most Westin hotels, the Peachtree Plaza features the Westin WORKOUT® Powered by Reebok Gym.

And if that doesn’t present enough of a workout for you, you could always try climbing the stairs to all 73 floors!

Here's to your Heart Health!!!
