Matters Of The Heart

Your heart is a muscle and, like all other muscles in the body.  It needs to be flexed to stay healthy and functional.  Strangely, we don't often think of the heart in these terms.  February, the month most associated with matters of the heart may be over now but it's still worth reminding ourselves how important a healthy heart is.  Amazingly each day your heart beats about 100,000 times and jut like our limbs, facial features and other internal organs, it is unique in shape and size to every one of us.

The size of your heart can change according to how you are using it. Just like your biceps, when you load the muscles repeatedly it gets bigger and so when you perform aerobic exercise, the heart increases its capacity to pump a greater volume of blood around the body to serve the body's demands for oxygen and nutrients.

What's the best way to maintain your heart health then? Answer: Cardio - but not too much! Yep, cardiovascular exercise in all its many forms such as running, cycling, swimming, dancing, aerobics and everything in between all helps to keep our ticker in tip top condition.  Cardiovascular exercise also increases the size of blood vessels, giving the body more places for blood to flow and making he circulation more efficient.

One way to know how effectively your heart muscle is working is to measure your resting heart rate.  Do this by finding your pulse on the wrist or neck and then count the beats whilst timing yourself for 1 minute.
60 or less = Good
61 to 80 = High but acceptable
101 or more = Abnormally high and not good!

So, if you want to improve your RHR, incorporate some regular cardiovascular exercise to your daily routine and measure again after one month. Unlike most other tests, in this case if you have a lower score, then you know you're improving and your heart is getting fitter!
