Healthy heart exercise day two
Exercises for warming up
The two most important factors due to which a heart weakens are lack of cardiovascular exercise and high levels of stress. Before we move to exercises we must release our stress with the following movements. It is important to bring the body to a relaxed and balanced state before it moves into any form of intensive exercise.
