Heart healthy exercise?

There is so much information about exercise that it can be confusing to the average person who is trying to stay fit.

"Cardio" implies cardiovascular benefit, but these activities are not activities I recommend doing often for heart health.

Research has shown that endurance runners and cyclists have the following:
-increase calcified plaque in coronary arteries
- increased inflammation and clotting factors that may trigger acute cardiac events
-decreased heart rate variability
- increased risk of ventricular tachycardia
- decreased testosterone production
- decreased sperms quality and motility
- irregular or absent menstrual cycles.
