Felt great felt bloody great. Yes it was only for 5 minutes ( lol) but just running felt brilliant ,followed it up with a 3000m stint on the rowing machine ( 500m at pace of 2.30 ,1min break), heart rate went to 128bpm but recovered really well.
All under the guidance of cardio rehab instructor.
That's great I always feel better after doing exercise. I do sit fit not an easy option as our instructor works us hard . We use resistance bands straight and circular and ankle weights. I brought 500g ones as I couldn't use her 1kg ones . She gave us a wake up routine 5 weeks ago only 10 reps of 7 exercises but I do them every morning. And the days I don't go out do 25 mins at home. I have PAF but was born with Hereditary Hyperekplexia which is a neurological condition a gene mutation in my brain receptors which effects my mobility and cognitive function. It's not a mental illness but means I have to read things a few times for information to sink in . Plus all my life I have been in constant pain and fall. But thanks to my family and my husband who died 20 years ago aged 47. I live my life to the full. Routine helps me get through each day. And no matter how much pain or how bad my mobility is if I plan to do something I have to do it.
Only found out in 2020 was born with a hole in my heart and had my diagnosis of PAF in 2021 and diagnosis of hereditary Hyperekplexia in 2022. I will be 66 next month.
But better late than never having any diagnosis. Keep going and enjoying your achievements. 🏃
The hospital near me has a partnership with a cardio rehabilitation centre. Half private, half funded . Once you finish the 8 weeks ( free) rehabilitation from the NHS, you can join as a paying member.
