Regular cardio exercise is the only way to keep your cardio vascular system healthy.
Advised Practices for Adults
Spread throughout the week at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity, or a combination of both.
Add at least two days per week of muscle-strengthening activity (such as resistance or weight training).
Reduce time spent resting. Even moderate activity can mitigate some of the dangers of inactivity.
Gain additional advantages by being physically active for at least 300 minutes per week.
Gradually increase quantity and intensity over time.
