physical activity


Physical activity is anything that makes you move your body and burn calories. The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise a week. Physical activity lowers your risk of heart disease and stroke. Aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, swimming or biking, benefit your heart.
