Exercice for your heart

Regular physical activity strengthens your heart and lowers blood pressure.

Time to get your heart pumping! Regular physical activity strengthens your heart, improves blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, and helps you maintain a healthy weight.

Get your heart pumping

Exercise plays a central role in promoting your heart health. It strengthens it, keeps blood pressure stable, and is the key to a heart-healthy lifestyle.

We’ll show you what regular exercise can do for you

Strengthening the heart muscle

Your heart loves it when you are active. Regular exercise, especially running, cycling, or swimming, strengthens your heart muscle. This allows your heart to pump blood more efficiently and promotes better cardiac performance.

Lowering blood pressure

Blood pressure is the force with which blood presses against the vessel walls. It is influenced by the pumping force of the heart and vascular resistance. Physical activity can help regulate your blood pressure. Regular exercise strengthens your heart, contributing to lowering your blood pressure to healthy levels.

Improving cholesterol levels

With every movement you make, whether it’s running or cycling, the so-called “good” HDL cholesterol is increased, simultaneously reducing the “bad” LDL cholesterol. This helps reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.

Promoting weight control

Through physical activity, you can keep the pounds away, and your heart dances through life more lightly.

Promoting circulation

When you move, circulation improves, promoting the supply of oxygen and nutrients to your heart muscle.

But remember: Any form of physical activity should be adapted to your individual abilities and health condition.

Types of Exercises Your Heart Will Love

For your heart health, a combination of endurance training and strength exercises is perfect.

Endurance Exercise

Regular endurance training improves the performance of your cardiovascular system by increasing the blood flow to your heart muscle.

Examples:

Running/Jogging

Running or jogging increases your heart rate, promotes endurance, and burns calories.

Cycling

Cycling is joint-friendly and improves your cardiovascular fitness.

Swimming

Swimming activates many muscle groups and improves your heart and lung capacity.

Dancing

Dancing uplifts your mood and improves your heart rhythm.

Strength Training Exercises

Strength training not only strengthens your muscles but also improves your posture and revs up your metabolism.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): Short, intense exercises alternate with recovery periods – for maximum efficiency in your training.

A balanced mix of endurance and strength contributes to promoting the health of your heart and enhancing your overall well-being.
