Exercise for a Healthy Heart

Picture
According to the Center for Disease Control, being overweight or obese increases your risk for heart disease.

To determine if your weight is in a healthy range, doctors often calculate your body mass index (BMI). If you know your weight and height, you can calculate your BMI at CDC’s Assessing Your Weight website. Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight and lower your blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar levels.

For adults, the Surgeon General recommends 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking or bicycling, every week.

Children and adolescents should get 1 hour of physical activity every day.
