If you want one habit that supports heart health in many ways, choose movement. Regular physical activity can help with blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar management.
🩺 “The best workout is the one you can do consistently and safely,” says Walter Alomar, MD, JD, Sports Medicine, at Kelsey-Seybold Clinic – Berthelsen Main Campus. “Start with what feels doable, build gradually, and choose options you can stick with.”
A simple weekly mix could look like this:
✨ Aerobic Exercise - 3 or more days per week - Cardio you don’t dread (walking, cycling, swimming), anything that elevates the heart rate
✨ Strength training - 2 or more days per week
✨ Flexibility - Daily Stretching all major muscles group
📲 If pain or old injuries are getting in the way, schedule a Sports Medicine visit. If you’re new to exercise, scheduling a visit with your primary care provider can help ensure you’re ready to start safely and choose activities that fit your health needs.
