Here’s why getting active pays off:

Reduce Heart Disease Risk

People who don’t exercise are almost twice as likely to develop heart disease compared to those who stay active.

Lower Blood Pressure

Regular physical activity can help manage and reduce your blood pressure, keeping your heart in better shape.

Boost Good Cholesterol

Exercise can increase your HDL ("good") cholesterol, which helps protect against heart disease by removing bad cholesterol from your bloodstream.

Strengthen Your Heart

There’s a reason it’s called “cardio.” Activities like walking or jogging for just 30 minutes a day can get your heart pumping and make it stronger.
