Tips to help you start a heart healthy exercise plan.
Regularly doing Aerobic exercises for 30 minutes per day is excellent for increasing your heart rate. Climbing the stairs or anything to get your heart rate up.
Any moderate-intensity exercise like swimming, jogging, Pilates and yoga is good. Exercising your heart muscle means exercising your body. You don’t need a gym, just a bit of motivation and a good pair of walking shoes.
For adults that are 65 and older or anyone with chronic conditions or limited mobility, you need the same amount of exercise as younger people – the activity can be less intense. Use good judgment and follow your doctor’s advice.
Strength training is a great complement to aerobic training and helps to prevent age-related bone and muscle-mass losses. Keep in mind that strength training does not increase heart rate but does increase stamina. Use it to target areas where muscle-tone is needed and do not forget the other muscle groups.
With any plan, start strength training slowly and build up to heavier weights and repetitions especially, if you are new or out of shape.
Practice balance exercises to help prevent falls and injuries. Balance techniques are used frequently as exercises in yoga or more simple forms of balancing exercises such as walking heal-to-toe, standing on one foot, or standing up and sitting down without using your hands.
Stretching exercises done twice a week helps keep flexibility, which is very important. Consider 10 minutes of stretching twice a week to improve your flexibility.
