CARDIOVASCULAR ACTIVITY FOR A STRONG HEART!
Cardiovascular activities can be loosely defined as ones which involve participating in physical activity for overall extended periods of time. We all hear that our heart will benefit from cardiovascular, or more commonly know aerobic activities, but how does our heart benefit from these? Well the heart is a muscle which, like all of our other muscles, when exercised becomes stronger or if ignored becomes weaker. Taking part in regular cardiovascular activities each week will help the heart muscle become bigger and more powerful, allowing it to pump a greater amount of blood each minute (increase in stroke volume). This is why as we become fitter our heart rate decreases at intensities at where initially we thought our heart rate was going through the roof. So cardio activities for a strong heart!
