Strength Training & Aerobic Exercise

For your heart’s health, strength training AND aerobic exercise are beneficial. We’ve all heard about the benefits of aerobic or “cardio” exercise, the type that you can do for upwards of an hour continually. But what about strength training which is important for maintaining muscle mass, balance, and healthy bones? Research shows that resistance training can improve upper and lower body strength as well as aerobic fitness, even in people who have heart disease. If you aren’t sure about what exercises to include in a strength training plan, consult a knowledgeable personal trainer.
