Is lifting weights better than cardio for your heart

Cardio and weight lifting are both excellent forms of exercise, but which one is better for your heart? The answer may surprise you.

Traditional wisdom has it that cardio is the best way to improve heart health. However, recent research suggests that weight lifting may be just as effective, if not more so. Weight lifting helps to build muscle mass, which increases your metabolism and helps you burn fat. Burning fat can help to reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems.

In addition, weight lifting can help to improve your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It can also help to strengthen your bones and joints.

Cardio is still an important part of a healthy lifestyle, but it may not be the best choice for everyone. If you have joint pain or other injuries, weight lifting may be a better option. Cardio can also be hard on your heart if you have high blood pressure or other heart conditions.

The best type of exercise for your heart is the one that you will stick with. If you enjoy cardio, then keep doing it. However, if you are looking for a more challenging workout that can also improve your heart health, weight lifting is a great option.
