Jumping jacks, running, and jump rope are better than all of these combined times 1000. I'm not saying don't do these, but if you start running a mile or a few miles every morning then your heart is going to build tremendous amounts of strength (as long as you start small and work up to the longer distances). Same for jump rope and jumping jacks. Start small and work your way up and your heart will be great!

Simple, clear and effective. Thank you. I am 83. Can’t go sailing, . Can’t go skiing. Wife is strict on social distancing. Walking up the stairs is about it. Hells teeth.

Really helped as I have a heart condition and haven't exercised for a long time. This does help get the heart going even though they are gentle. Thank you so much. Kindly see John 14:6 and/or book of John. God bless

But question is how long.. what is the time.period for these exercises? 5-15-20 mins? Should we do these in one stroke or take breaks in middle, if yes then how long should we take the break?

Hi, You mentioned few minutes of walk. Can you please specify how many minutes? Thanks. My heart EF was down to 13%, improved to over 24% now. ( Yes, you may be wondering if I am alive! Yes, I am, by the Grace of God). I take simple medication and go about with my everday work, without any problem. It's been like this for over a year now. Any suggestions to improve this please!


Its been found that this happened due to excessive intake of hard liquor, but I have not had a even drop of liquour for an year now.

when i stand up after laying in bed, and slowly walk out of the room, my heartbeat shoots up to 120-160 bpm, and i feel awful, like my heart is overworking itself. when anxiety gets involved, it can reach up to 190 bpm or more. so i always wonder if there's a way to lower my resting heart rate through exercise, for it to be within a normal range again. but i don't think exercising or even walking with a goal of making your heart beat faster is the best decision for me since it's already usually beating fast

Sometimes when I do exercises it just makes the pain worse

unless you are severely overweight or very old, these are too easy to get my heart going.

I'm 35 years old and I have a terrible lifestyle. My job requires pretty no physical demand, so I just sit all day at work. And then when I get home, I sit on my couch until it's time to go to bed. This is daily. I don't have any hobbies that require physical activity. Lately, I've been noticing slight chest pains and my heart rate is extremely high, especially at night. I'm worried that I may have extremely poor heart health. I don't have health insurance, and I can't afford to see a doctor, let alone a heart doctor for these concerns that I have... I've been searching the internet high and low for ways I can try to address these issues, and there is an overwhelming amount of information for me to process... I'm looking for simple and effective ways to boost the health of my heart, and at this point, I'm becoming a bit desperate. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks. I am disabled with my back and these exercises shouldn’t be too difficult.

My chest starts burning and I feel like I can't breath, but I also need to train for a Marathon in November 2020 for diabetes, and I can't keep stopping, how can I get back to a full run for 26.1 miles?
