Life Lessons with Heart Attack Survivor Bob Harper, Survivors Have Heart

Edward Jones presents Life Lessons with Heart Attack Survivor Bob Harper, Survivors Have Heart.

Health and fitness expert and best-selling author Bob Harper has been at the forefront of health and fitness, having turned his passion for fitness into a career training others to get healthy. Bob thought he was doing everything right and never thought that a heart attack could happen to him.

Bob suffered a severe heart attack in 2017 and his world was turned upside down. While he wanted to get back to his life and back to fitness, he had to focus on his recovery, listen to his body and work on getting healthy again. It was an incredible adjustment for him.

Now, for the second year in a row, Bob is teaming up with Survivors Have Heart, a national movement that uses the power of patient stories to engage heart attack survivors and their loved ones, celebrate survivorship and support those who may be a risk of another heart attack. Bob and Survivors Have Heart will be taking the inspiring movement on the road, heading to cities across the U.S. to unite fellow survivors and share his powerful heart attack story and the steps he has taken to successfully navigate his post-heart attack journey.

Heart attack survivors have to recover both physically and emotionally following their heart attack – and it’s important for them to work together with their healthcare teams to stay committed to their treatment plans.
