Try More Life Health ....exercises(mostly seated) for seniors on Your Tube. I have been doing these for about a yera Doc. says they are fine for those with heart conditions.

Very difficult to suggest exercises without knowing the individual!

Over 60 covers a wide range of people and a huge variety of fitness levels.

Your cardiac team should suggest appropriate exercises if you have a problem. The BHF site has some good plans at various levels. I was given the advice to get out of breath, but still able to hold a conversation.

I must admit puzzlement at your agenda Elizabeth? You have now posted a question on four different forums, including this one, about diverse subjects including stress, testicular cancer and lung function. Your profile remains empty.

You have had some good answers but it should be stressed other lifestyle choices affect cardiac health. These include a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, no smoking, drinking within guidelines, and having BP and cholesterol levels checked.

On YouTube there is a great one with different time amounts 10 min, 15 min etc. Search yes2next. A daughter and her 80 year old mother do the exercises.
