Weekly strength training and women's heart risk

A study has shown that engaging in strength training for two hours or more per week reduces the risk of heart attack by up to 44% in women. It also decreases the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 20% compared to those who do not practice such exercises. The findings suggest that combining resistance training with aerobic activities further enhances heart health, especially when performed consistently over a long period and including exercises for both the upper and lower body. The researchers also emphasized that these exercises do not require going to a gym; they can be performed at home using body weight or light weights. Additionally, they recommend engaging in 150 minutes of aerobic activity weekly to support heart health and reduce risk factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol.
