To keep your heart healthy and save a few beats, it is very important to practice regular motor activity: perform thirty, forty minutes of exercise, four or five times a week, is an ideal approach to decrease your resting heart rate, even 10 beats per minute.
The ideal work intensity is 70% of the maximum heart rate; if you do not have a heart rate monitor, this threshold can be calculated by subtracting your age from the fixed value 220, then multiplying the result by 0.7.
On the other hand, there is no protective effect on the heart of short and intense physical efforts, which can even become dangerous for people with one or more cardiovascular risk factors.
