When I first got symptoms of heart failure shortness of breath and oedema I thought fuck it I am going to work out evry day even if it kills me - first few times running up and down stairs I thought i would suffocate I was gasping so hard I really felt like drowning i really believed I was going to die - but I kept at it every day to the point of gasping for air and choking within four weeks (combined with a healthy diet) I had forgotten I had it - shortness of breath went away I built in Calisthenics was doing pull ups and push ups and weighted sprints - don't be afraid to exercise - I would rather be dead than live as a cripple
i am 58 years old male living in India..i had mild heart attack and underwent PTCA and one stent is placed in my heart. five years ago...i have been walking and doing breathing exercises for the past five years...now since 15 days i have started strength training without any weights with only my body weight...i do squats, forward lunges, slow push up hindu style, frog style squat, plank and gluten bridge...i am going slowly and take care that i dont get exhausted..I hope this is fine...please advice..
i have my dinner at 7 pm everyday and have my breakfast following day morning at 7 am...so i give 12 hours gap...just have a glass of fenugreek seeds water and a glass of plain water first thing in the morning and then go for half an hour walk..and do one set (10 reps) of squat, plank, push ups, cotlift etc...the walking and strength training goes for one hour...then i come back have bath after half an hour and breakfast after one hour of exercise..i feel good to exercise on empty stomach..feels light...have lost five kilos in four to five months..
Can I ask a doctor a question? I am a heart patient and have had 4 heart stents installed about a month ago And I am a bodybuilder... Can I lift weights, even with lighter weights, not exceeding 40 kg or 30 kg? Indicating that I had to install the stents, I was carrying 180 kilos I hope the correct answer is scientifically safe all the respect and appreciation

I’m in the same boat. I just shattered doing exercises and overhauled my diet. Good to see it works!
❤thank you ❤
