Study Claims to Have Determined the Best Heart-Healthy Exercise ...

I'll admit it: Getting into a bikini and looking good in it would be awesome. But I'm exercising for many others reasons too: to slow the aging process, to keep my joints in shape, to lose a few pounds. I'd also like for my heart to be as healthy as possible for as long as possible.

A new study suggests that the best exercise for heart health might be a combination of cardio/aerobic exercise and weight training.

Oh, yeah, I said "might."

If you look closely at the study, led by Lori Bateman of the Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., and reported by Reuters Health, you'll notice that those who combined aerobic exercise with some weight or resistance training lost an average of 4 pounds. Those who did aerobic exercise alone lost 3 pounds. Is that enough to declare that the combination is better than aerobic exercise alone?

For me, I'll continue to go for it! I'll stick to my cardio routine to burn calories and improve my cardiovascular health, and I'll pump some light iron every once in a while to try to create long and lean muscles.
