Off to my first cardio rehab session at 6.00 this evening after having a,stent 5 weeks ago. Must admit I am a,bit apprehensive as to what I can do as,had a,total knee replacement in March and it's a,little painful still.

If my cardio rehab as anything to go by you will be assessed for your capability as far as the exercises are concerned, and shouldn't be asked to do something you cant. But the bottom line is if you don't think you can do it due to a problem such as yours, then don't!! But otherwise do embrace the course and its content.

Just got back. Actually found it ok . I think doing aqua aerobics has,helped as a,lot of the exercises were,very similar

Shoulder aches a bit this morning after doing the weights got a bit ambitious and used 1.5 kilo for some of them. Broke the left humerous bone near the shoulder 2 years ago that one gives a,but if to for from time to time. Decided I am going to try and do a,few triceps and bicep curls at home using my microwave hotties. Not quite 1 kilo but nearly

It’s great and will benefit you massively. Make a note of your target maximum heart rate when exercising. There are rule of thumb methods of calculating this but at the rehab they’ll calculate it for you specifically based on age, weight, meds etc. Good luck.

don’t worry - do what you can - you’ll benefit from this honestly but will only be for the good if you’re comfortable in what you can do - as your knee heals you can increase your activity so don’t worry if you start slowly

BY now you will know that they will take all that into account and only arrange things that you can cope with safely.
