Maintain aerobic activity: Aim for about 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardiovascular activity each week, such as brisk walking or cycling.
Be consistent in your strengthening: Schedule sessions dedicated to overall muscle strengthening at least two days a week to optimize your general physical condition.
Preventing heart disease inevitably involves physical activity, and especially developing lower body strength. By paying particular attention to your legs, you are making a potentially life-saving decision for your long-term cardiovascular health.
