1. Hitting the Treadmill
Zambrano uses her treadmill for easy, convenient cardio sessions. “Running lowers your blood pressure and cholesterol levels,” according to Bronson Health. “Running 30 minutes a few times per week helps reduce low density lipoprotein (LDL), the ‘bad’ type of cholesterol and increases the high density lipoprotein (HDL), the ‘good’ type of cholesterol. High blood pressure also becomes normalized through consistent physical activity.”
2. Walking Her Dog
Zambrano loves spending time with her pup. “The faster, farther and more frequently you walk, the greater the benefits,” says the Mayo Clinic. “This can be a great way to get aerobic activity, improve your heart health and increase your endurance while burning calories.”
3. Riding a Bike
Zambrano rides a bicycle for fresh air and fun. “This is an activity that makes your heart beat faster – decreasing blood pressure and lowering your resting heart rate,” according to Nebraska Methodist Health System. “You are able to get the same cardiovascular rewards from cycling as you would get from walking, running or dancing.”
4. Functional Training
Zambrano enjoys group functional training sessions. “Functional fitness exercises train your muscles to work together and prepare them for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work or in sports,” says the Mayo Clinic. “While using various muscles in the upper and lower body at the same time, functional fitness exercises also emphasize core stability.”
5. Weight Training

"If you're at risk of thinning bones, or if you just want to preserve your bone health for the long haul, weight-bearing exercise should be the cornerstone of your preventive efforts," says Ryan Desgrange, PA. "Building bone mineral density is like making deposits into the bank up until about age 30. Your body is constantly rebuilding and remodeling. After that, the process becomes less efficient." expand=1 site_id=26817431]
