A study published in The Journal of the American College of Cardiology has shown that even running for as little as 5 minutes a day can significantly lower a person's risk of dying prematurely. I don't know about you but 5 minutes a day seem pretty easy to accomplish and your heart will thank you for it. The heart needs to be exercised just like our biceps, triceps, quads and glutes if we want to maintain strong bodies.
If you don't want to run then try setting your timer for 5 minutes and go through a series of calisthenics like jumping jacks, running in place, jump roping or whatever floats your boat. Even if you don't belong to a gym, can't run 3 miles or just think you don't have the time, try the 5 minute workout and you might be surprised by the results. It might just add years to your life!
