Staying healthy in Virginia
We welcome our Virginia ACLS, PALS and BLS certification customers to the Virginia page for cardiovascular emergency prevention. On this page you will be able to find all sorts of different resources that will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Read on to find out more about how Virginia residents can stay healthy and active.
Active living
Experts recommend approximately 20–30 minutes of light to moderate physical activity every day. Here are some suggestions for physical activity in the state of Virginia.
The beach
The beach is a great place to get some exercise. If you like to run, there is nothing like an early morning run in the surf. If running is not your thing, you can always take a walk. You can also play sports, build sandcastles or take a quick swim in the water. Here is a great website that will help you decide which beaches to visit.https://www.virginia.org/beaches/
State park
Visit one of Virginia’s State Parks to find a variety of activities that will help you be more active. Here is a site that can help you plan your next state park visit.https://www.virginia.org/stateparks/
Daily routine
One of the best ways to increase your level of physical activity is to make small changes to your daily routine
-
Walk instead of drive if you are able.
-
Bicycle to work.
-
Take the stairs instead of the escalator.
-
Park your car at the far end of the parking lot to increase your walk.
-
Do push-ups or sit-ups for a break during the commercials of your favorite TV shows.
-
Stand up and move around while making phone calls.
-
Walk the dog, or walk with your children.
Healthy diet
As our Virginia BLS, ACLS and PALS certification customers understand, exercising is just part of the prevention effort. It is also important to eat healthy. Farmers markets are a great place to walk around, have fun and buy food. Take the family down to local farmers market to support your local Virginia farmers.https://www.google.com/maps/search/farmers'+market+near+Virginia,+USA/@37.9348184,-81.2839561,7z/data=!3m1!4b1
For the children
It is equally as important to take the kids out for exercise. Childhood obesity has more than doubled in recent years. Chilren and adolescents who are obese are more likely to become obese adults and are more at risk for adult health problems such as heart disease and diabetes.
Check out the following for some activities to do with the whole family.

Medical news
Off-duty officer saved man's life
A deputy sheriff who was spending his day-off with his 13-year old son at the shooting range did not know he was about to save a man who was having a heart attack. Deputy Sheriff Noel McManaway was target-practicing with his son when he heard someone calling his name for help. The man said that John Campbell, her mother's partner, needed help badly. McManaway immediately started performing CPR then requested his son to get his cellphone so he could call 911. First responders arrived and took care of the victim and later brought him to the University of Virginia Medical Center where it was found he had a blocked artery.
A trio of life-savers
Rick Reynolds, Kris Savage and Katie Simpsons were the team of three heroic life-savers of the day. There was a heavy rain storm at the city of Herdon, Virginia and they happen to find a man who was face down and unresponsive. They immediately called 911 and began doing CPR until the paramedics arrived on the scene to help them. The three heroic individuals were honored by the city hall and Agostino Tarantino, the man who survived, was present at the ceremony was well.
Power company employee saves life
Nick Reckmeyer knows CPR due to his dangerous line of work. He works on the power lines for NOVEC. However, Reckmeyer didn't need CPR on the job, but rather when he was out with his family. He encountered a man on the street in Springfield and went to his rescue, performing CPR to save his life. Police report the man had suffered a drug overdose. The man did begin breathing again and emergency responders arrived. Reckmeyer's story is particularly inspiring because his life was saved by CPR as a toddler when he nearly drowned.
Basketball game turned sour
A group of High School teenagers reunited for a typical basketball game, Trevon Jackson, AJ Stouffer and Jerry Harris attended the Key Center Downtown court when they suddenly noticed Harris gasping for air, losing consciousness and dropping to the ground. The boys started doing CPR (do you need your own [BLS renewal](https://aclsrenewal.org)?), a technique they learned on their class, on their friend waiting for the EMS to arrive, the paramedics used a defibrillator to shock Harris that made his heart beat regularly again. Jerry recovered at the hospital and is now back with his family thanks to the quick actions of his 2 friends.
