A healthy heart is the foundation of an active, fulfilling life. The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week. Activities like brisk walking, swimming, or cycling are great for strengthening your heart and improving circulation.
Don’t forget about strength training! Adding resistance exercises twice a week builds lean muscle, which helps your heart work more efficiently. Even small daily movements—like taking the stairs, dancing, or gardening—add up to reduce your risk of heart disease and improve energy levels.
Consistency is key. Start where you are and gradually increase your activity. Pair your fitness routine with heart-healthy habits like staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and managing stress.
At Orthopedic ONE, we’re here to support your journey to a stronger heart and better health—one step and one heartbeat at a time!
