In this comprehensive review, researchers highlight the significant benefits of regular exercise for cardiovascular health. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the United States alone, CVD accounts for over 600,000 deaths each year. Regular physical activity is shown to substantially lower the risk of cardiovascular mortality and the development of cardiovascular diseases. Key benefits also include:

  • improved heart function

  • better blood pressure control

  • enhanced insulin sensitivity

  • more favorable blood lipid profile. 

In 2024, let’s embrace the power of exercise for a healthier heart. Every step and every movement, is an investment in your well-being. It is time to make heart health a priority – your future self will thank you for it.

Ready to challenge yourself? Set up a workout challenge on PROOF and push your limits! Invite friends and family to join and track your progress together. Whether it's increasing your daily cardio, adding more steps, or intensifying your workouts, let PROOF be your partner in your cardio quest!

A "workout minute" on PROOF is calculated based on your heart rate. First, we determine your maximum heart rate using your age and biological sex. Then, we set a threshold at 65% of your max heart rate. Whenever your heart rate exceeds this 65% threshold, it counts as a workout minute. 

Pro tip: Set your workout goals to be slightly less intimidating than your actual target. For example, if you aim for 30 minutes of exercise, start with a 20-minute goal on PROOF. This makes the task feel more manageable. Often, once you reach that initial goal, you’ll find yourself motivated enough to hit or even exceed your actual target. It’s about overcoming the initial hurdle without feeling overwhelmed.
