Exercise is one of your best weapons against high cholesterol and heart disease. Regularly exercising -- whether in the gym or in the comfort of your own home -- can help keep your cholesterol levels in check, as well as lower your risk for other conditions that could contribute to the development of heart disease.


How Does Exercise Lower Cholesterol?

Although scientists know that regular exercise affects all aspects of your cholesterol profile, there aren't many studies examining how exercise actually does it. However, current research shows that exercise lowers cholesterol in a number of ways.


The Basics: How Exercise Can Help Improve Cholesterol Levels

Exercise is an inexpensive prescription for many chronic medical conditions. Although weight loss and strong muscles are just a couple of things that getting regular exercise can do, it can also help keep your cholesterol levels healthy.


Which Types of Exercises Lower Cholesterol?

No matter how you slice it, any type of movement that gets you away from your couch is best for your overall health. Although there are many types of exercises that can get your cholesterol levels within a healthy range, some exercises may work better than others.


Easy Ways to Fit Exercise into Your Day

An exercise routine can be an important part of any cholesterol-lowering program. However, you must have time dedicated to exercising everyday in order to see some results. These good tips will help show you how you can fit exercise into your busiest of days.
