strong heart exercise - #14938

Ira

I am really worried about my heart health. A few months ago, I started feeling this weird tightness in my chest every time I did some physical activity, especially when running or even brisk walking. I went to the doctor, and thankfully, all my tests came back normal, but they mentioned something about needing a strong heart for better performance. Now, I’ve been trying to focus on strong heart exercise, but I have no idea where to start! I read somewhere that even a moderate amount of strong heart exercise can help improve heart function, but do I need a trainer for that? I mean, what are the best exercises for building a strong heart, and how often should I really be doing them? My friend said that activities like swimming or cycling are good for building a strong heart, and I like those, but is that really enough? What if I’m too tired and don't feel like working out — will that mean my heart won't get stronger? I just want to make sure I’m doing this right. Any tips on specific routines or how to track progress with strong heart exercise would be super helpful. I'm just a little lost here!
