Because heart is SO important to our health, we have to do everything to protect our heart and stay away from unhealthy habits that may damage our heart. And as always, exercising is a good way to maintain our health as well as our heart.
Have you been watching Olympics? If so, you may have noticed how fit these athletes are. You don't have to become one - obviously - but three of Olympic sports are easily accessible to you and are fun to do (and highly effective).
1. Swimming
Swimming is a known cardio exercise that can make you lose weights (a lot of them too!) and maintain you in healthy condition. Swimming lets you to exercise your entire body and is a SAFE way to do it (just don't jump into the water suddenly). It's safe because you will be exercising in the water with much less amount of resistance.
2. Running
Maybe, you don't have a good experience with water. Well, running is a simple and perhaps the easiest one that requires NO investment at all. Nada! You still want to spend enough money to get a good pair of sneakers to avoid hurting your bones or joints. It may be a good idea now to charge up that old iPod and fill it up with some exercise songs as well. If you are married or are in a relationship or have a good friend, getting someone else to join you in running is another great thing to do.
3. Cycling
Cycling takes a lot of energy, but it can build stamina, endurance, and of course, gives you a huge weight loss. It's simple, but you need to purchase a bike, and it's best (if you are not used to cycling) to do it in the park or other safe areas away from cars. You don't need to do this a lot everyday, but about 30 minutes at least is recommended, and honestly, use a real bike - not one of those "sit-down" bicycles in the gym.
