Cardiovascular (or aerobic) exercise is important for maintaining your stamina, and for the health of your heart.

Any exercise that is sufficient to make you breath harder, and causes you to sweat, will be working your heart.

60 minutes of aerobic exercise per week is the recommended minimum to obtain any benefits.

A brisk walk can do as much for your health as a hard session in the gym - as long as it is done on a regular basis.

If you are not normally active, you are advised to select the 'Introductory' option from the left hand menu.
