Cardio for Heart Health

[Blondell]

With training at a pace where my HR isn't raising by all that much, how much cardio should I be doing solely for heart health?

[ritzgal]

Wait, you can do cardio for heart health too? :lol3:

I say 20-30 mins 3x week

American Heart Association says 30-60 mins physical activity most days of the week, but I think their recommendation would include strength training as well as cardio.

Surely strength training is included in this recommendation. My HR gets higher when I'm doing squats than it ever did on SS cardio.
