MANCHESTER, NH — CycleNation is the newest event from the American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association. This event revolutionizes brain and heart health through high-energy stationary cycling. Participants are encouraged to put together teams and ride the revolution relay-style. In the U.S., heart disease and stroke remain the No. 1 and No. 5 leading causes of death, but up to 80 percent of cardiac and stroke events may be prevented with lifestyle changes such as eating healthier and exercising more.
Cycling has been shown to strengthen heart muscles, lower resting heart rates and reduce body fat levels. CycleNation is designed to celebrate our power to transform health in America, while banding together for a high-energy, endorphin-pumping ride where everyone’s a winner.
Helene Thibodeau DNP, RN, CRRN, NEA-BC, Vice President of Patient Care Services and Chief Nursing Officer of Northeast Rehabilitation Hospital Network, has taken on the role of Chairperson of the 2019 New Hampshire CycleNation. New Hampshire’s first-ever CycleNation is set for November 14 at Executive Health and Sports Center in Manchester.
