A member asked:
Is jogging good for your heart? i heard jogging can increase risk of heart attack. is there more facts to prove jogging is worth it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, jogging is good: There are good studies showing the positive affects of exercise and heart disease. The best form has been shown to be "HIIT" or high intensity interval training; intervals of maximum running, then walking ; alternating over a 30minute cycle; Long distance running over years is less healthy and hard on heart.
