Exersise for your heart everywhere and always

The heart is a muscle, and it needs regular exercise to be in shape. Aerobic exercise in the gym as the treadmill or outdoors in nature such as fast walking, swimming, cycling help a lot. Try to exercise at least 30-60 minutes, 4-6 times a week. But before you start an exercise program, discuss it with your doctor.A program that you can follow is: start with 150 minutes/week of moderate exercise intensity or 75 minutes/week of high-intensity exercise. Aerobic exercise should be done at intervals of at least 10 minutes scattered throughout the week. You will get even more beneficial effects if you aim to increase the duration of moderate aerobic exercise from 150 to 300 minutes/week or high exercise intensity to 150 minutes/week. In your exercise, you should also do muscular strengthing exercises at least twice a week. If you want to lose weight or maintain a recent weight loss, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (eg fast walking) should be done for at least 60-90 minutes, most or ideally all day of the week.
