Part 2: Types of Physical Activity

All types of physical activity help the heart. Start slowly. Then move on to higher-level activities. For example, when you are comfortable walking, gradually begin to jog and you'll feel great!

You may want to start with easier activities.

After a while, you will be able to do even more activities.

What about people who
work hard and get exercise
in their job? A short walk
(or other activity) is a way to
have a few minutes to yourself,
to relax and unwind, and do something healthy that's
not work!
