There are two types of cholesterols, the good cholesterol or HDL and the Bad cholesterol or LDL.

Good cholesterol or High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) takes cholesterol away from the blood vessels to the liver to be eliminated which means that a high level of good HDL cholesterol is thought to help maintain heart health.

Bad Cholesterol or Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) takes cholesterol from the liver to the body tissues. If there's a high level of LDL in the blood, it can build up in the walls of your blood vessels, causing them to narrow, reducing blood flow, and may then become a problem for your heart health.

Like biking, running and jogging are good for your calves and thighs. Because they're weight-bearing exercises, they strengthen bones to help protect against osteoporosis. They are high-impact activities, so they may be jarring on your joints.

So start off slow, especially if you're overweight. It's fine to switch between walking and jogging, too. That's easier on your joints, and varying your pace (interval training) is a good challenge.
