Fight heart disease: Local Experts Share Tips
What sould we do to have better heart?
As YMCA fitness instructor Becke Rakes surveyed her weight-lifting class while she taught, she noticed a bare-footed older woman positioned behind a barbell at the back of the room.
Concerned, after class Rakes introduced herself and learned the woman, Donna Wimberley, had broken her foot. Wearing shoes was painful.
“But I need to do something,” she told Rakes. “I need to exercise.”
Rakes encouraged Wimberley to keep coming to class, and she did. She started with light weights, but she kept showing up. Now seven years later, Wimberley is a fitness instructor at the Richard Kane YMCA of Bartlesville.
“I’m really proud of her,” Rakes said. “She’s an inspiring person.”
Rakes is enthusiastic about motivating people to reach fitness goals. She was 26 when her husband dragged her to a group class at the YMCA, and she caught the exercise bug, certifying as a fitness instructor and personal trainer before moving into her current gig as the group fitness coordinator.
“There’s more to exercise than how you feel physically,” Rakes said. “It’s how you feel mentally and emotionally.”
And aside from the overall benefits, exercise is critical to long-term physical health, including heart disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is Oklahoma's leading cause of death.
“Healthy diet and exercise are some of the best treatments you can have to keep you healthy,” Dr. Aaron Hightower of Ascension Medical Group in Bartlesville said.
