THERESA: As President Clinton recovers from heart surgery, there is a lot in the news about heart disease and what risk factors are most important. A new study shows that for women, lack of exercise may be a greater contributing factor for heart disease than obesity. There are so many good reasons to exercise, but this is right at the top of the list. The American Heart Association endorses at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity for women on most or all days of the week.
How are we doing at hitting that goal, girlfriends?
YVONNE: I think that people need to realize a walk around their neighborhoods counts. When I haven't fit in a workout one day, it might occur to me to ride my bike to the grocery store or the library instead of driving. Granted, both are only 3 blocks away. But it certainly is helping the environment and the last two blocks are up hill. Sometimes a walk around my neighborhod after work can be so de-stressing. My neighbor walks up and down her four steps outside her home in the morning. It's just nice to be out in the fresh air, she says.
JILL: Doing ok with it. But I sometimes wonder when I read the stories of all these people who worked out and considered themselves physically and wound up with a heart attack, how much it really helps if other factors are at play. I do it anyway and hope for the best.
For me it’s some form of exercise every day. Strength training three times a week, cardio for 45 minutes three times a week, plus walking with my husband as often as we can. In addition to regular exercise, I still believe in taking time each day to honor myself and de-stressing! That’s gotta be good for the old heart, don’t you think?
Posted by: Diane Catrambone on September 8, 2004 11:35 AMThe 30 minute goal is a great idea but keep in mind that if you are only going to do 30 minutes, you are going to have to meke it a more intense 30 minutes if you are looking to see results. If that is all the time you have I would break it up evenly into 15 minutes of strength training and 15 minutes or cardio. For strength, try supersetting, doing two exercises in a row before resting for 30-60 seconds or circuit training, doing 6-8 exercises in a row only resting 30 seconds between each exercise. For you cardio try to do interval training which means to mix in high intensity with your moderate intensity. On a treadmill you could mix in running with a moderate-paced walk with an incline. Do two minutes of walking then do a minute of running. Keep this up for 15 minutes.
