5 Ways to Keep Your Heart Strong Through Movement

Heart health is about more than diet and exercise routines. The way you move, from your daily steps to athletic training, has a direct impact on your cardiovascular system. This guide explores five practical ways to keep your heart strong while supporting overall movement health.

1. Optimize Your Gait
Walking and running are simple ways to strengthen your heart, but inefficient gait patterns can lead to strain. A professional gait analysis ensures every step contributes to heart and joint health.

2. Focus on Posture
Slouched posture compresses organs, reduces lung capacity, and makes the heart work harder. Stretching, strengthening, and movement therapy can correct posture and improve cardiovascular efficiency.

3. Incorporate Strength and Mobility Work
Muscle imbalances increase cardiac stress. Targeted strength and mobility exercises improve circulation, reduce strain, and support heart function.

4. Schedule Regular Movement Assessments
Regular movement screenings identify early issues before they affect your heart or joints. Precision Performance provides assessments tailored to your lifestyle and fitness level.

5. Recovery and Prevention Matter
Recovery protocols, including guided therapy and targeted exercises, protect the heart by reducing overall stress and improving endurance.
