Reducing The Risk Of Heart Attacks

Exercise For Heart Health

Getting regular exercise is one of the best ways to maintain overall health and reduce the risk of getting heart disease. Regular exercise is good for blood pressure, cholesterol levels, energy, mood, and weight.

When starting an exercising routine, it is best to gradually work up to at least two and a half hours of light to moderate intensity aerobic exercises each week such as brisk walking. Additionally, there should be approximately an hour to an hour-and-a-half every week of vigorous aerobic activities such as jogging, running, or swimming.

Furthermore, muscle-strength training should be implemented to work all of the major muscle groups such as legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms.
