Why is Cardiovascular Health Important?
​
It is important to maintain good cardiovascular health because a decrease in cardiovascular health can result in the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke or heart failure.
How to Improve Cardiovascular Health.
Becoming physically active is a good way to improve cardiovascular health. This doesn't mean spending hours upon hours, running miles and miles every day. Research has shown that there are quick and fun alternatives.
If time is a concern:
Short workouts that are low in volume but high in intensity have been shown to improve cardiovascular health just as much as longer high-volume low-intensity workout programs.
If working out is boring:
Participating in classes, such as Zumba, have been shown to be a fun way to improve cardiovascular health. Other methods, such as playing an enjoyable sport, working out with a friend, or simply going for a daily walk, are good ways to increase physical activity and improve cardiovascular health.
