She is 82 years old and can still run half a horse. Experts say that three good habits are about keeping your heart healthy and maintaining long-term health.

Getting older does not mean slowing down your life, Vima, who is now 82 years old. Since her 70s, Wilma King participates in the Huafu semi-marathon every year and develops a habit of walking 8 miles (about 13 kilometers) a day; science shows that her regular daily exercises, including weight training and flexibility training, helps to maintain her hardship.

Viama completed the first semi-marathon in her life in 2014, accompanied by her daughter Andrea and her friends; "They looked very happy, so I wanted to join," Viama told Business Insider.

Experts and researchers point out that as long as you follow the three good habits of Viamar, you can help keep your heart healthy even if you can't run a marathon.

Keep walking every morning and behaved well

Vima said that there have always been many activities in her life. When her daughter was old enough to sit in the seat, she immediately took her out for a bicycle with her family. But Vima was diagnosed with pericarditis, pleurisy and valve problems in 2014; she decided to stay healthy as much as possible and start taking regular walks.

Now, long-distance walking per day has become her main exercise, and it is estimated that it can reach 200 miles per month; however, experts point out that ordinary people only need to walk 500 to 1,000 more steps a day to bring health benefits.

Shared walking photos with her friends and maintained social interactions

Vima pointed out that her morning routine also includes staying in touch with her friends; she would take photos with her mobile phone while walking "check in".

Scientific evidence shows that socializing can prolong life and enhance your motivation to maintain your daily exercise; in the Blue Zone where residents have the longest expected life, it is known for establishing and maintaining a living social activity, because it is of great benefit to both physical and mental health.

Weight and flexibility training to prevent injuries

In addition to walking, Vima also maintains a good habit of training such as stretching and activity to help protect her, and will perform the most effective anti-aging exercise at home, which is weight training.

A personal trainer once told the "business inside story" that preventing injuries by maintaining flexibility is the key to long-term poverty.

For Vima, the combination of a lively social life, long-distance walking and other sports habits brought her positive responses, because she noticed that people of her age but without similar habits quickly became malignant.
