Research shows connections between physical activity, overall health and well-being, disease prevention and quality of life. When you’re trying to take better care of your heart, you might wonder what kind of activity provides the best support. Thankfully, there are clear guidelines that you can aim for!
❤️ Get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity, or a combination of both, per week.
❤️ Add moderate- to high-intensity muscle-strengthening activity (such as resistance or weights) on at least 2 days per week.
❤️ Spend less time sitting. Even light-intensity activity can offset some of the risks of being sedentary.
❤️ Gain even more benefits by being active at least 300 minutes (5 hours) per week!
