As we age—especially after the age of 60—it is common to want to stay active. However, some popular exercises can place excessive strain on our cardiovascular system.
A heart health specialist outlines five activities that should be reconsidered:
Intense HIIT workouts: High-intensity sessions involving intermittent bursts of maximum effort cause sharp spikes in heart rate. This can overburden a heart that is already weakened by age or affected by underlying, undetected conditions.
Sprinting: Sudden increases in running pace cause blood pressure to rise abruptly and significantly, posing a risk to vascular health.
Repetitive jumping or intense plyometrics: Exercises involving constant impact (such as jumping rope or plyometric jumps) not only increase the strain on the heart but also cause significant wear and tear on vulnerable joints.
