Back at the end of May, I underwent aorta replacement surgery, and during August/September did 6 weeks Cardiac Rehab at my local hospital, where they stressed the importance of aerobic exercise to strengthen my heart.
Imagine my surprise this morning to read in the i newspaper that
"Pumping iron is 'better for your heart than jogging'"
https://inews.co.uk/news/health/lif...sease-study-exercise-running-walking-cycling/
While both strength and aerobic exercising are good, "benefits were strongest among those in younger people and those who chose static exercise"
"Static activity appeared more beneficial than dynamic and patients who did both types fared better than patients who simply increased the level of one type of activity".
So get pumping !
