The core of true fitness lies in your hearts strength. Your heart is one of the most valuable pieces of equipment in your body. This little pump the size of your own fist literally creates life for your body. You can survive a shock to your brain, but if your heart stops, the chances of survival diminish drastically. If your heart is weak, your whole body is weak. It represents the ultimate power both internally and externally. A strong heart helps you lift weights easier, helps you run faster, jump higher and creates a better athlete or a better exercise devotee.

If all the above is true, how come a lot of us worry about the size of our biceps instead? I believe this is true because one way or another, a lot of us believe it is harder to exercise the heart then it is to work other muscles. When you weight train for instance, you dont sweat as much as when you participate in aerobics. This is true because the system that operates during weight training is anaerobic or without oxygen allowing the body to use less energy. Cardio training like cycling, running or aerobics uses much more energy because the consumption of oxygen is higher resulting in excessive sweat.

One way to keep an excellent healthy heart is to exercise aerobically to maintain proper cardiovascular health. In other words, you must stress or cause your heart to work harder than usual to keep arteries clear and to improve pumping power as well. weight training is not the best method to exercise the heart. It affects the heart somewhat, but not enough. Make sure that you choose the right exercises that focus on the right system in your body. What ensures results is selecting exercises that directly affect the areas, muscles or system needing improvement. This is one way to maximize results. To be in shape forever then, its imperative for the health of the heart to be impeccable.
