You do not have to be a great shape or
athlete to exercise enough to prevent heart disease. A recent study published in
the New England Journal of Medicine showed a 30% to 40% decrease risk of heart disease in
people who walk three hours or more per week. That means you need to walk just 30 minutes
a day six days a week or 60 minutes three days a week! Any one can manage to do that.
You don't have an excuse like "I don't have time." Slip into your walking
shoes (also bagged to work) and walk on your lunch hour. If it is not possible, skip 30
minutes of watching TV at night and walk. Another plan would be to set the alarm clock for
30 minutes earlier and walk first thing in the morning. You may even get to see the
beautiful sunrise.
You don't have to do serious exercise to get your heart healthy. Walk your way to health.
Remember to walk slow (covering a mile in 20 minutes or less) and take the time for
yourself. There's nobody else who can do it for you.
