Learn about what exercises to avoid that could be hurting your heart and increase the risk of heart disease!

While regular physical activity is one of the single best ways to protect your heart, extreme endurance loads or sudden, unaccustomed workouts can present unexpected risks. As an Advanced Clinical Practitioner and Pharmacist, I frequently see active individuals assume high fitness levels completely immune them from heart conditions. In this guide, we examine the clinical science behind exercise-induced atrial fibrillation, coronary artery plaque in lifelong endurance athletes, and the temporary cardiac risks associated with going from zero to maximum effort too quickly.

What you'll learn

-Why extreme endurance training increases the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF).

-What clinical imaging reveals about coronary artery plaque in lifelong athletes.

-The temporary cardiac risks associated with sudden, unaccustomed high-intensity workouts.

-Why a progressive movement hierarchy is safer than sudden physical punishment.

-How starting with 11 minutes of daily brisk walking delivers significant health benefits.

-The role of basic strength training in building long-term cardiovascular resilience.
