Exercise is one of the most powerful tools for heart health 🚶🏻♀️
We recommend aiming for one of the following each week to help lower heart disease risk:
❤️ 150 minutes of moderate exercise like brisk walking, light cycling, or swimming
❤️ 75 minutes of vigorous exercise like running, fast cycling or swimming laps
[Research](https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/57/15/979) continues to show that just even consistent walking can make a meaningful difference for heart health.
Spreading movement out over the week makes it more sustainable. That can look like 30 minutes of walking five days a week, or 15 minutes of higher-intensity movement five days a week. A combination of both also counts.
Even simple, consistent cardio supports circulation, metabolic health and long-term cardiovascular wellness. Start where you are and build from there.
