The Cardiac Clinic is… Fantastic, Invigorating, Friendly

Before I joined The Cardiac Clinic I had a good life. Maybe it was a little too good. Lazy eating habits and lots of entertaining led me to putting weight on, making me feel even lazier and un-motivated. My wake up call was a Heart Attack and I know that I am very lucky to have survived and I would need to make some changes in my life. The Tauranga Hospital runs a class for six weeks where they tell you what you need to do and it was overwhelming for me. I knew that joining a walking group or going to the gym did not motivate me so I was delighted when I found The Cardiac Clinic.

Life now for me is great! I am more positive and definitely fitter. I feel confident and understand how important my breathing and eating is for my health.  I can go to the supermarket now and make good choices.  Exercise for me means ‘use it or lose it’ – literally. I think going to a gym is good and that is essentially what I am doing, except everything is monitored and safe at The Cardiac Clinic. I have good health and a good lifestyle and that is so important when you get a second chance.
