Daily Fit Tip✿ "Quicker isn't Better"

It’s no surprise that exercise is good for your heart, but research suggests that endurance training is the preferred form for better long-term heart health. Endurance training simply refers to low-intensity, high-duration exercises like walking or swimming. It differs from interval training, which is defined by short periods of high-intensity energy bursts followed by a period of rest.

Studies show that those who perform endurance activities regularly have a reduced chance of heart failure, because these activities can help prevent the heart muscle from stiffening. And as an added benefit, adding endurance activities to your workouts can help you burn more calories and lose weight, which also reduces your risk of heart disease.

Take a long walk in the morning or better yet and nice run to get your body burning right at the start of your day.  Even a morning swim is a good wake up call for your body. Gets your body moving, heart pumping and your metabolism burning throughout the rest of your day.  Also, make sure that you’re eating the right foods and feeding your body throughout the course of you day. It all goes hand in hand for a healthy heart and body!
