The heart is one of the most vital organs of the body. It is a muscle that gets stronger and healthier if you lead an active life-it is not too late to start exercising to keep your heart functioning at its peak. The truth is that people who don’t exercise are almost twice as likely to get heart disease as people who are active.

Regular physical exercise can help you burn calories, lower your blood pressure, reduce your low-density lipoprotein (LDL also known as “bad”) cholesterol, boost your high-density lipoprotein (HDL also known as “good”) cholesterol, reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, type 11 diabetes, stroke and some type of cancer, activate your immune system, boost your mood, decrease your depression, stress and anxiety, prevent overheating of your body, make your blood circulate faster and more energetically, immune you to cardiovascular diseases, help you maintain mobility as you get older, keep your mind sharp, and enhance your mental health.ex

How do you get started? First, think about what you’d like to do and how fit you are. What sounds like fun to you? Would you rather work out on your own, with a trainer, or in a class? Do you want to exercise at home or at a gym? If you want to do something that’s harder than what you can do right now, fine. You can set a goal and build up to it. For example, if you want to run, you might start by walking and then add bursts of jogging into walks. Gradually start running for longer than you walk. Talk to a doctor before you actually get started. He’ll make sure you’re ready for whatever activity you have in mind, and will let you know the limit you can reach. In our next article, we will discuss the different types of exercises that can improve your heart and help it function effectively.
