The heart is a muscle, and exercise is great for it! Strength training helps to enlarge your blood vessels so the blood flows quicker, which means the heart won't have to beat as fast (or work as hard) as it would in someone with smaller vessels. Cardio exercise, such as aerobics, kick-boxing, or even a brisk walk raises the heart rate which also makes the heart stronger so that it can endure more. Basically, the stronger the heart is the better it works! You should try to do a combination of both, as this is the best way to help your heart stay healthy!
