Even more important, exercise helps protect your arteries -- where heart attacks get their start. Regular exercise removes LDL ("bad") cholesterol from your blood. If you have too much of this fatty substance, it starts sticking to the walls of your arteries, causing arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. If the arteries feeding the heart become clogged -- a condition called coronary heart disease -- a heart attack may be just around the corner. The protection doesn't stop there.
