About this session
This practical workplace session helps participants look at the working day they actually have — meetings, commuting, desk time, deadlines, irregular meals, long shifts, caffeine, late work, and limited recovery — and identify realistic ways to make it more supportive of heart health.
Rather than beginning with cardiovascular theory, participants map their own pressure points, improve a typical workday meal, build movement into periods of sitting, and plan for the busy weeks when healthy routines are most likely to disappear.
Longer formats add deeper understanding of cardiovascular health, workplace influences, sleep, stress, food patterns, and sustainable behavior change.

What’s covered
Redesign Your Working Day for Heart Health
Every length- Map your workday pressure pointsParticipants map a realistic working day or week and identify where long sitting, missed meals, rushed food choices, low movement, late work, poor sleep, or limited recovery tend to occur.
- Break up the sittingParticipants identify specific moments where prolonged sitting can realistically be interrupted, such as between meetings, during calls, while commuting, or around lunch.
- Design a better workday plateUsing foods they already eat, participants improve a typical breakfast, lunch, or snack by considering vegetables or fruit, fiber-rich carbohydrates, protein, and unsaturated fats.
- Plan the busy weekParticipants choose one useful heart-health habit and then deliberately design a smaller version for deadlines, travel, caring responsibilities, shift changes, or difficult weeks.
Make Healthy Choices Easier to Repeat
90 minutes and longer- Build movement into things you already doWalking meetings, active travel, taking stairs, moving between calls, standing tasks, and short activity breaks can all increase daily movement without requiring another formal workout.
- Create food backup plansBusy days often go wrong because the only available choices arrive when someone is already extremely hungry or short on time.
- Protect the transition out of workLate emails, unfinished tasks, long commutes, caffeine, and persistent mental activation can push work further into recovery time.
- Change the environment, not just your motivationCalendars, reminders, food availability, meeting culture, social support, workspace design, and workplace norms can make healthy choices either easier or harder.
Understand Why These Habits Matter for Your Heart
3 hours and longer- Sitting, movement & cardiovascular fitnessPlanned exercise and everyday movement contribute to heart health in different but complementary ways.
- Food patterns support the wider cardiovascular pictureBalanced meals, fiber-rich foods, unsaturated fats, appropriate portions, and sensible hydration can support several aspects of cardiovascular health over time.
- Sleep & recovery matter tooSleep supports recovery while persistent sleep disruption can make healthy eating, movement, stress regulation, and energy management more difficult.
- Stress changes both physiology & behaviorPressure can temporarily influence heart rate while also affecting sleep, eating, alcohol, smoking, activity, and recovery.
Create a Sustainable Heart-Health Routine
Full day only- Identify what you can control — and what the workplace can changeHeart health is not solely an individual responsibility when working conditions influence breaks, workload, schedules, food access, movement, and recovery.
- Build your minimum viable routineParticipants identify the smallest version of their movement, meal, sleep, and recovery habits that they can realistically maintain when life becomes difficult.
- Review, adjust & continueInstead of labeling a week as successful or unsuccessful, participants review what worked, what became difficult, and what needs to change.
- Know when wellbeing advice is not enoughThe facilitator explains the role of routine health checks and professional advice and clearly separates workplace heart-health education from clinical assessment.
