More Exercise Means Stronger Heart | Health and Fitness News
Description
New research reveals that while the standard 150 minutes of weekly exercise slashes heart attack and stroke risk by 8-9%, pushing to 5-6 hours weekly cuts risk by 20%, and nearly 10 hours drops it by 30%. But experts caution against overdoing it too fast—especially for beginners—since injury risk rises with intensity. The study, which factored in fitness levels and used self-reported data, also notes its participants were already healthier, raising the classic chicken-or-egg question. Bottom line: more movement is better for your heart, but find a sustainable routine that fits your life—and gradually build up.
