Do you need to be told that inactivity is a major risk factor for heart disease in women to get you off the couch to make a plan? Swimming, cycling, jogging, dancing, skiing, skating and walking are great choices for heart healthy activities.
Perhaps you need a structured exercise class at the local club to be motivated. Perhaps you are easily motivated by the ease of a brisk walk 30 minutes daily. No matter which you choose, all physical activity adds up to a healthier heart with the added benefits of healthy bones and muscles.
All healthy adults ages 18-65 should be getting at least 30 minutes of physical activity 5-7 days per week. This includes *you* if you are more than 6 weeks post-op hysterectomy and have been cleared by your physcian.
Since we aren't all the same size, same age and same health issues and conditions, it may take some time and exploration to find the plan that works for you.
Stick with it. Find a way that works for you to reap the heart health benefits of planned exercise!
