Whatever you don, Ton, take it steady, mate.
Make your goal a lap at BBB, with a pint at halfway to get your breath back.

Carl, no problem mate, email in profile.

Maybe you could carry my bike up the hills at Hit The North if you want some really gentle exercise

Cant help on the cardio front. But saw this cube 29er ebikeand wondered who would benefit from it. I had a wee spin on the hybrid version at my LBS and was really impressed with how light it pedalled.

Ticklinjock, thanks for that mate, i already have a ebike, been using it for about 5 months.
it is very good, but it is not the same as doing it for real.Posted 4 months ago # -
No one who is likely to know the optimal solution would give it online to someone with a heart problem. Forget about training, get the OK from your GP to be as active as your health allows, and sort your diet out. That will make more difference. Good luck.

In my distant past I had the same background as Jon; I worked in cardiac rehab as an exercise practitioner with a NHS/LA background. Speak to your GP and ask to be referred to someone local; as I recall there's a very good person in Morley, although that was a few years ago. There were some links between some of the Leeds GP's and Carnegie at Beckett Park in Headingley. Email me and I'll put you in contact with a friend of mine.

I reckon the safest way, from my Granddad who survived a dodgy ticker for a long long time, is to take very long, very gentle walks. ie. increase the quantity not the intensity.

What Bullheart said. Don't be too hard on yourself.
Get your GP to refer you for proper capacity testing + cardiac rehab. Finding out what your capacity is + taking specialist advice on how to build from that works. But it can be frustrating learning to manage your expectations. Good luck.Posted 4 months ago #
