Taking the First Step

This starter program is designed for individuals who are ready to consider exercise as a way to reduce and manage their risk factors. The 1 month (12 session) commitment will ease you into the routine and give you a chance to see what exercise can do to manage your risk factors and improve your overall health.

We will begin to show you what it takes to participate in a balanced exercise program. Modifying lifestyle and behavior patterns normally takes three to four months of routine exercise participation. After 1 month at CHIP, if you like our settings, you can decide if you would like to continue with us for 24 additional sessions in our Cardiac Rehabilitation and Prevention Program.
