We've always been told that cardio is the best way to build heart strengtg, but Belgian researchers have found that resistance training in addition to cardio builds your heart more than cardio alone.
Doctors had initially freared that the stress of static lifts would aggravate heart diseases but in reality, they found that the resistance training reduced levels of protein associated with heart failyre by 25%.
They also concluded that resistance training strenthens the wall of the heart.
Obviously, if you have any kind of heart condition you should talk to your doctor before beginning any strenuous workout program but do not be afraid of the weight room! Nice and easy does a body, and especially a heart, good!
