February is the American Heart Month.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA),
just 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity for 5 days a week can have
overall cardiovascular health benefits. And activity is just anything that
makes you move your body and burn calories, for example, walking. Three 10-minute walks throughout the day are helpful. If you do not
have time to get to the gym, there is plenty you can do at home or at work to
make sure your heart stays healthy. Fit in small amounts of exercise throughout your day.
It is not just cardio, strength training is also
beneficial for your heart. And so please try lunges, push-ups, weight lifting, etc. Try
also stretching or yoga—these low-intensity activities can help get blood
flowing and can help improve balance and flexibility. Plus, they are relaxing.
