How To Exercise If You Have High Cholesterol

How should I exercise if I have high cholesterol?

An exercise program whose goal is to help you manage your weight and improve your blood cholesterol levels is going to be an aerobic type program, where you're exercising for an extended amount of time several times a week. That would be something such as fast walking, running, bicycling, or a spinning course. These are low level aerobic exercises that you can continue to do for 30 45 minutes and you want to be able to do that several times a week. A minimum of three times a week, hopefully five times a week. If you have high cholesterol and you are starting a new exercise program, you want to have an aerobic program. There's something known as the talk test which is very helpful. If you are able to continue talking to somebody while you are exercising, you know that you are staying in the aerobic degree of exercise that will help you burn fat more than you are burning sugar. By your being able to talk, we know that you are breathing well, and are able to get enough oxygen in. Aerobic exercises, if you stay active in that particular activity, will help you to burn fat and, of course, then improve your cholesterol levels.
