Best Heart Healthy Activities in San Diego

Best-Heart-Healthy-Activities-in-San-DiegoIn the United States, San Diego is about as close to heaven as you can get. The year round climate is perfect if you enjoy sunny days and temperatures that reach about 75-degrees for the high and 48-degrees for the low. That creates the ideal weather for spending most of your free time outside, so it’s safe to say San Diego is a place where people enjoy the great outdoors.

Skies as blue as robin’s eggs with rainfall of approximately 10 inches per year compared with 37 for the rest of the United States. With all this sunshine you must get outdoors for some exercise. In San Diego there are all sorts of heart healthy activities in which to participate:
