Types of Exercises


Aerobic Exercises

The most effective way to lower your resting heart rate is by performing aerobic exercise.  By increasing your heart rate during exercise,  you will strengthen your heart and it will function better while you are at rest. 



Aerobics should be done at least 5 times a week for 30-45 minutes.  Starters must exercise only for 5-10 minutes.  Slowly increase the intensity and duration of exercise to 30-45 minutes. However, exercising for  60-90 minutes daily would bring you immense benefits.  Depending on your weight and level of fitness, calories will be burnt at the rate of 300 or more per hour.  You can perform exercises like brisk walking, running, cycling, or riding a stationary bike.  Swimming is especially useful for people who have arthritis or high blood pressure and so cannot perform weight training.
