18. ACTIVITIES THAT CAN MAKE
THESE SYSTEMS HEALTHY
• These activities increases your respiratory and heart rate and essentially challenging your
heart to work harder and become stronger.
19. • Brisk walking
The human body was born to walk. Whether you rack up the
miles on a treadmill or hit the road, brisk walking is a natural way
to improve your fitness. Wear supportive, comfortable walking
shoes, strap on your iPod and get moving. Though a leisure stroll
is better than sitting on your couch, push yourself to walk at a
fast pace to achieve a moderate intensity level.
• Running
Though more challenging than walking, running is another
heart-healthy physical activity that the human body is ready-
made to do (barring physical limitations or injuries). In addition, it
is one of the best ways to burn calories (a 150-pound person
can burn 100 calories per mile), a bonus if you are also trying to
lose weight to reduce your risk of heart disease. If you are a
beginner to running, start out with a brisk walk and add 1 to 2
minutes of running every 5 minutes of walking. As you get more
fit, you can increase the minutes you run until you don't need to
walk in between.
• How much exercise do you need
for your health?
• Experts recommend doing some form of moderate aerobic activity for at least 150
minutes or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity each week. Though any aerobic
exercise is good for your heart, these five physical activities are top-notch for heart
and lungs health.
20. • Swimming
The pool may be a great place to float lazily along, but that
water can also be a full body fitness challenge. Swimming laps
or even participating in water fitness classes will not only raise
your heart rate and improve your heart health, the water
provides multi-directional resistance that will improve your
muscular strength and tone. Swimming is a safe alternative if
you have joint problems that walking or running can aggravate.
• Cycling
Another cardiovascular activity that is easy on the joints, cycling
is a low-impact exercise that you can do solo in the gym, in a
spin class, or outside on the road or trails. Make efficient use of
your cycling time and bike to work or to do your errands. Even
better, join a cycling club and enjoy the camraderie. While your
heart is pumping you'll also be building strength and toning your
lower body as well as your core muscles, if you take your bike
off-road.

• Interval or circuit training
If doing a solid stint of aerobic exercise bores you tears, mix up
your cardio. For example, for every 3 minutes of cardio, do 1
strength training exercise or a high-intensity burst of cardio for 1
minute. Another option is to choose 5 to 10 strength training
exercises and perform 1 set of each, doing lower weight and
higher repetitions while moving quickly from one exercise to the
next to keep your heart rate up. This type of training will not only
keep you motivated to exercise, it will improve your muscular
strength, endurance and heart health.
