The real secret to a healthy heart

Experiments

Try these heart-healthy experiments.

  1. Try interval training. Find the method you like best, whether it's getting your heart rate up and down on the treadmill or doing bursts of plyometric exercises.
  2. Take a moment to remind yourself of your wellness goals and the benefits you'll reap from regular exercise. If heart health wasn't on your list, add it!
  3. Once a week, make exercise a social affair by working out with a friend, joining a walking club or trying a new activity.
