The Beat Goes On

An average man has a heart rate of 70 beats per minute. An average woman has a heart rate of 75 beats per minute. This means that in this month of 28 days, your heart will beat somewhere 2,822,400 and 3,024,000 beats. Your heart is working hard for you. Isn't it time to return the favor? Get your heart in shape by eating the right foods and exercising.
What type of workout is best for you?
A workout that maintains an elevated and steady level of intensity is best for improving cholesterol levels.
An interval workout, which alternates a period of 2 minutes of intense exercise with 1 minute of killer intensity is best for weight loss.
A pyramid workout, which builds in intensity over 10-15 minutes, then backs off for 10-15 minutes and repeats is best for building the strength of your heart and lungs.
All three styles are effective in improving your health and all three are effective in weight management.
Get out there and exercise. Do it for your heart.
