About the Cardiac Muscle:
 Cardiac muscle makes up the foundation of the heart.
 Cardiac muscle is one of the 3 types of muscles—the others being
skeletal and smooth muscle.
 The average human heart contracts about 70 times per minute, and
that number increases with exercise.
 Contraction of the cardiac muscle propels blood throughout the body.
 We can keep our heart healthy by performing cardio exercise (exercise
that increases your heart rate) daily.
 The cardiac muscle needs a constant
supply of oxygenated blood. If there is
a blood clot or plaque stopping blood
flow, the cardiac muscle dies. This is a
heart attack.

your abdominal muscles—standing and seated exercises are included!
