3 Aerobics Exercises For Heart Health

By:


Most people don't do enough to keep their heart healthy and let's face it, without it there is nothing else. So, keeping it healthy should be tops on your list. There are many things that lead to a healthy heart and one of them is genetics, which is something you are stuck with but diet and fitness is something that you do have control over and are two things that are very important. Aerobic exercise, the kind that increases your heart rate, is something you should do regularly and here are 3 that are easy and you can begin doing them today.

Walking-It is as simple as going out your front door or heading into a gym. No special equipment is required, with the exception of a comfortable pair of athletic shoes. You should be walking fast enough that you can still talk, but it should not be easy. Three miles an hour is a good beginning pace and you should increase to 3.5-4 miles per hour. Starting out with 20 minute walks 3 times a week is good, but you should eventually be walking about 5 times per week for 30 minutes or more.

Marching or bouncing on an exercise ball-These exercises can easily be done in your home and are convenient for mothers that have small children. This can also be done in front of the TV. There are a number of other aerobic exercises that can be done on the aerobic ball. These make a great addition to a circuit, if that is the type of workout that you enjoy.

Step Aerobics-This can be done on a special step that allows you to step up and down and sideways. Not only is this a great workout for your heart, but it will also tone areas of your lower body. This is something that can be done without the step apparatus and you will still reap the benefits. This is another one that lends itself easily to a homework out or working out in front of the TV.

Aerobic exercise is essential to heart health. What you do does not matter; the important thing is that you do something.
