It might be that nurses don't have much exercise specific knowledge but can provide more general information to help people. Glad this has helped you though :-)
Bloody hell, I've been doing mostly isolated exercises for the last 12 years, bicep curls, push ups, lifting weights above head has been a part of it, leg lifts and holds laying down, squats etc, I've got my head in my hands watching this. Amazing what you don't know. Probably just as well it happened when I was young, I should modify. Thanks for the information.
It's all an assessment of individual risk. Some exercises you have mentioned may be OK for you, but I don't know your individual circumstances so can't say for sure. Most of my videos like this are generic guidance for these conditions.
THANK YOU !!!!! they tell me pills are the way to go . BS. cardiac experts are ok but will not put you on a tread mill to see where you can go....Like back to work, had 3 stents and PAD in legs and they did not give me any idea what to do a year later...... You video is a big help....thank you
Thank you for this information. I have always been an intense workout person, extremely fit. 3 workouts a day (cardio, weight training, yoga). A couple of years ago, I got extremely sick (the virus that shall not be named), and my heart went nuts. I started bouts of SVT with exercise and massive arrhythmia at rest. I am now to the point that I cannot do simple tasks. Anything that requires me to raise my arms above my head or lower my heart below my waist. I just want to be healthy again, but seeing as I'm in my early 40s and look fit, I'm being disregarded by my Healthcare system in the states. The lack of exercise is effecting the rest of my health, so I'm searching for things I can do to try to get back on track.
Take a look at some of the workout videos in my playlist here: ruclips.net/p/PLf9i8qFtMBBK1VBEA-IlSw7VrXxrvxHUF They will give you some ideas even if you don't want to follow them!
I had a triple bypass plus graph last October. I feel better at times you know that pain is stilk there plus the light headedness I had a couple arteries they coukdnt stint so I definitely need to start doing the exercise to get rid of this stuff haven’t been diagnosed, but I bet you a nickel it’s agina
This is kind've depressing. I'm 46. I've worked out all my life. I've spent decades doing intense weight lifting involving heavy weights and reps-too-failure. Cardio has been HIIT-based, often involving sprint workouts with a "recovery" day usually involving a light 60 minute run once a week. Earlier this year I was diagnosed with advanced coronary artery disease. Doc says it's simply my genes. Now I'm watching this and I'm thinking, "I'm supposed to go from military presses with 35 pound dumbbells to shoulder presses with water bottles?!??" and cardio is now going to be...weeding a garden? Is that even exercising?
The advice given in this video is purely from evidence based guidance. However, I'm aware there have been some recent studies in Canada that are using HIIT for people that have had an MI (heart attack). There are many younger people of working age in their 40's and 50's that may also have been very active (firefighters etc) that don't fall into the typical data from the research, therefore I think this needs exploring further. Essentially, you can do whatever you want, you are responsible for your own health, and I think based on what you've said, you may be able to do much more than what the recommended guidelines state. But I hope this offers a better insight into what can help reduce the risk while exercising.
Don’t be depressed, at least you’ve been in good shape and physically fit your whole life- if you had been sedentary and unhealthy it could’ve been way worse for you. Then you’d blame yourself and feel the guilt of causing it like a lot of people do through unhealthy lifestyle- where this way here you know it’s not your own doing and just genetics and being fit has probably saved you. It still sucks and I’m sorry to hear you have this but there is always a positive side of things.
Since posting this, I've been doing some reading on the subject, and have talked with my cardiologist. Basically, intense work-outs are being discouraged, which sucks. Heavy lifts, compound lifts, workouts based on reps-to-failure sets, anything higher than about 75% of a 1 rep max, HIIT-based aerobic work...all discouraged. I'm doing very light jogging or, more commonly, power walks. Going for walks makes me feel like an old man, but it is what it is. At this point my exercise has a very specific aim of using the best tools to keep me from dying of cardiovascular disease, and as pathetic as it feels to go for a walk, vigorous walks really do seem to be the consensus best aerobic exercise for the heart in terms of safety combined with efficacy for patients with heart disease. With weights I am doing dumbell work in the twelve rep range. The goal is to use a weight that forces my muscles to work, but with which I can do twelve reps comfortably - the last rep should be moderately challenging, but it should not be anywhere near failure. Basically I should still have a few reps left in the tank in every set. I breathe slowly through all movements, never holding my breath to brace my core, which can spike blood pressure and possibly cause plaque rupture. I'm still puzzling about how to do effective ab/core work. I'd say I've lost about 8 pounds of muscle since April, which is depressing. My abs have also kind've disappeared. It sucks, but I'm making do best as I can. I really miss being able to push my body - moderate exercise feels like a chore, whereas intense exercise felt like a rewarding challenge that left me feeling great afterward.
My heart issues are a bit different and I was wondering what was ok cause I'm using to doing a lot on my own, though I am finding out what is too much both through action and these videos, which explain a lot...riding a bike has always been hard for me even as a kid...
What do you recommend for microvascular angina? Pressure in the jaw and upper chest comes on within a minute of a steady walk, and goes away within 20 seconds after stopping.
This is not a condition I come across regularly and I believe this is also called/ or was called Cardiac Syndrome X. As far as I'm aware the guidance will be very similar to what is in this video, but I will do some further research into this condition, and do a video on it specifically to ensure I give the right advice.
Same here. I first experienced MA a few months after my triple-bypass surgery [a little over 3 tears ago]. Really frustrating to control, as sometimes I simply wake up to a very tight and painful chest area. Other times I can do some moderate work around the house with little discomfort. Also, I pop a nitro tab about 5 minutes before I use my excercise bike to good results.
Hello, I have a question. I had three stents placed in all three of my arteries on 4/1 and visited the gym on 5/3 because I felt better. (The hospital I went to has no rehab program.) I did light cardio and light weightlifting, including lat pull-downs. I feel like I've been experiencing symptoms such as difficulties breathing and chest discomfort since then. You mentioned that lifting above shoulder height is not good. Do you think lat pull-downs involve lifting above my shoulders and could have affected my new stents? Possibly causing them to dislodge? I made an appt with the cardiologist but he is busy until end of this month. I'm super axious if I made a mistake of going to the gym too soon.
Not likely, but you seem to have gone back to exercise very quickly. Here in the UK, we would normally programme exercise for someone after 12 weeks, unless they've had some supervised exercise rehab with a team as they can monitor your exercise responses in a safer environment. Is there someone at the gym you go to that is qualified to help you from cardiac rehab perspective? It's probably;ly worth watching my cardiac rehab programme video here to offer some guidance too: ruclips.net/video/vbCkEGJDhx4/видео.html

I have recently been diagnosed with a 100% blocked artery. Ive been given meds and an okay to go back to work without any rehab suggestion. Was told that my heart is still functioning normally despite blockage. I am intending to get into an active gym routine. Any suggestions?
I would seek the advice of a local exercise specialist to offer you individual advice based on your issue. For people that have undergone cardiac rehab programmes, I did a home workout using the BACPR guidelines here (if you want something at home): ruclips.net/video/vbCkEGJDhx4/видео.html
Please follow your doctor advice I lost my husband on Christmas day in the church, he had complete heart blocked and he died of heart attack mycardial infraction. My world came crumbling am yet to come to reality of it
Hey mate, im no doctor by any means but im a HCM/Myocarditis/CAD patient with an S-ICD and i train to failure daily (6 days per week in the gym) with moderate to heavy weight (8-12 reps). But i must say that my CAD is stable and so far i havent had any angina pectoris. You need to change your breathing habit when things get heavy, dont do the usual press breating, simply breath in and out during reps but dont hold your breath as this spikes the blood pressure which can lead to problems.
I've had skip beats for almost 10 years.. i bike uphill for 13kms almost everyday. my heart rate when biking uphill is 160 to 207 bpm max.. and i don't care i just enjoy cycling 🤣🤣🤣..
@Exercise For Health yeah average is 180 when going uphill.. i have skip beats and also have asthma and my fingernails are a little cyanotic.I'm glad i dont experience chest pain when i cycle uphills for longer periods..and i cycle almost everyday.
I got an heart attack at the age of heart attack, since after that I'm searching for professional cardiac rehabilitation center, but unfortunately I didn't found any here...
After being told by my Doctor that I had angina, I asked if I would be able to play golf to which he replied yes. When I tried to play, I was still shit.
@@ExerciseForHealth I still do get chest pains. just had angiogram and everything is clear. My doctor advised me to maintain my heart rate just around 80% of my max heart rate and not go beyond. Im 47 can I run still if I could maintain my heart rate around 140-150 hr? And can I do bodyweight exercises like pull ups?
I am 35 and had bypass surgery last year. I am already working out exercises like chest, back and arms. Are they safe enough ? I try and keep my heart beats within 140BPM. Make it come down to 115 to 118 and then again start. Is it safe ?
It's difficult for me to answer this as I haven't assessed you and don't know all the information about your health. It may be OK, but it would be best to get some personal advice from a specialist that knows you.
Can you recommend a work out or exercises that can help shaping body and muscle for people who have TOF. I'm so sick of this bully calling me cheap name every single day in my 25yeas of existence. I'm 25yearsold and weighting 48kg, can't do much of an physical activities. GOD IT SO SUCKS TO HAVE A HEART CONDITION!!!
This is not something I've come across before. Take a look at my workout playlist and see if anything is suitable following/ based on your doctors advice here: ruclips.net/p/PLf9i8qFtMBBK1VBEA-IlSw7VrXxrvxHUF
After 6 months, maybe doing some light patterns/ kata/ forms practice focusing on breathing and movement and gradually build up the intensity/ effort over the following months.
If you've only had a heart attack a few days ago, then you should be under medical supervision for early exercise rehab. My exercise programme on this channel for cardiac rehab, wouldn't be suitable until you are 12 weeks post cardiac event, when you should be stable and have a good understanding of your thresholds for exercise. Please seek individual advice from a medical professional.
I had a quadruple bypass back in 2020..I am 54 yrs old...i run 5 miles Monday thru Friday...i run 7 mph on the treadmill....is this exercise good?..or is this exercise to intense on the heart?
Hi....I m glad that I found you. I have a son who will be 7 years old next April. He had a heart surgery last year, now he is better but he is dwelling Infront of screen more than often . I want to admit him to a karate kids club so he will get a chance to meet other kids and will be physically more active. But given his heart condition I can't be sure if it will be safe for him. Please can you give your thoughts on this?? What do you think?
Great question. As a Tae Kwon-Do instructor myself, I can say that the type of class will probably be OK for him. However, it's worth asking the instructor lots of questions regarding their first aid protocols if there is an incident, the type of training the kids conduct in the lesson (how intense it is physically), what qualifications the instructor has and if they have experience with teaching to children with heart conditions. Get a feel for the instructor, and if you are filled with confidence, then it should be OK. If you come away with doubts, then look for an alternative. The martial arts world has some fantastic teachers, but unfortunately some really poor ones.
dude i was doing my usually push ups (50) and when i make the stop for do more 25 i few strange and i know i have some heart disease and can be that when i finish the last 25 push ups my hands start vibrate and here i feel strange i drink a lot water since that happening( don't have nothing "healthy " in my home i don't can drink the milk have it because also i have lacto intolerance and another option for me is powder juice but is a lot suspect drink that a lot sugar and also this happening just can be because yesterday i don't drink a lot water, and because don't eat nothing before i make that exercises. can be my anxiety too i don't know date love is tough i just have it 22 years old.
If you're 22 it would be rare for you to be suffering with heart disease (unless it's congenital), as most people with this will be between 60 and 80 years of age.
Just suffered a heart attack ( big one) always done overhead should er press, benchpress, deadlifts and squats. Feel gutted that the overhead one may now be dodgy for me
@@ExerciseForHealthI've been on the NHS cardio rehabilitation for 4 weeks now. I've been doing under their supervision, benchpress, overhead press, squats, and general resistance weight training. I'm even allowed to do these at home now.
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 no doctor, but I would recommend that you undergo a cardiac rehabilitation programme so you can learn about what exercise is best for you with the advice of a cardiac team in an exercise setting. Once you have been equipped with this knowledge, you can use it to get back to training again when appropriate.
@@dahnleycabreros4151 Not at all... most weight moves are shoulder high or lower. You can search RUclips videos for simple weight lifting moves. Best wishes!
It maybe OK, depending on your health condition/ goal/ workout intensity etc etc. Watch this video for further advice on the top 10 exercises which might help ruclips.net/video/OHVdYOggcco/видео.html
I'm not sure if this is a question (can I fly after having stents?), then it's yes after a period of a couple of weeks. Or if you're saying you can "fly" as you feel much better after having the stents fitted, then great!
The plank is not recommended due to the isometric nature of the exercise. Take a look at this video I did on the top 10 most popular exercises: ruclips.net/video/OHVdYOggcco/видео.html
Hello i was working out one month ago with weight bar for biceps one month ago. The i felt pain in my lower chest. I stopped the workout but after a day the pain shifted to the upper portion of the chest.after 2 weeks of this i took ECG but there was no problem in it...so i decudee to rest for 2 weeks.but now also when i am doing some strenuous activities or lifting small weights my chest is paining.what to do? Is there any problem with my heart.is it normal that the chest pain lasts for more than 1 month? Please reply
It's probably worth getting it checked. I'm not medically trained, but it could be a pulled intercostal muscle (between ribs) for example that might be giving you the symptoms of pain in the chest. Get a doctor to check it for you though.
We are the same... I had a stent last April and last July... I'm suffering chest pain in my upper chest specially in the clavicle and right chest but my cardio says it's not from the heart..its costochondritis
Another subscriber has mentioned this in the past for anxiety. Not sure if this method will reverse the cardiovascular disease but it may help manage other health aspects. I don't know much about it, so wouldn't want to comment as to its benefits.
I had an SVT (heart rate 165 for over 8 hrs before I went into the ER) a few months ago and they put me on diltiazem to keep my heart rate down, and they taught me vagal maneuvers to do in case it happens again. I want to get stronger, but just walking across my house raises my heart rate to 150 and my chest starts hurting. They couldn’t figure out why I had the SVT and didn’t give me any information on how to get better. Hospital doctor told me to lose weight, and then sent me on my way… idk what to do and I don’t have insurance so I can’t just keep going to doctors who won’t tell me how to get better.
Im only 30 and was a sedentary heavy smoker since my entire 20s...i recently stopped smoking and started jogging. I get pain in my left chest and burning... sometimes nausea nd chills too..they go away as soon as i stop or reduced intensity... I'm really scared..
I appreciate this video. It’s sad you told me more than the nurse practitioner I saw

Can you recommend a work out or exercises that can help shaping body and muscle for people who have TOF. I'm so sick of this bully calling me cheap name every single day in my 25yeas of existence. I'm 25yearsold and weighting 48kg, can't do much of an physical activities. GOD IT SO SUCKS TO HAVE A HEART CONDITION!!!
This is not something I've come across before. Take a look at my workout playlist and see if anything is suitable following/ based on your doctors advice here: ruclips.net/p/PLf9i8qFtMBBK1VBEA-IlSw7VrXxrvxHUF
I got a cardio appointment the wait list is 55 weeks
😮
Nice
Thanks
What if one only walks, let’s say, 30 min each day, would that be helpful? Referring to a CAD patient, of course. TIA, mate.
Yes, walking is an underrated exercise.
What do you recommend for non-contact martial arts conditioning? It's been 3 1/2 months since cardiac event. SCAD.
After 6 months, maybe doing some light patterns/ kata/ forms practice focusing on breathing and movement and gradually build up the intensity/ effort over the following months.
Just had a heart attack few days ago, and am diabetic. Any advice on how to excersize?
If you've only had a heart attack a few days ago, then you should be under medical supervision for early exercise rehab. My exercise programme on this channel for cardiac rehab, wouldn't be suitable until you are 12 weeks post cardiac event, when you should be stable and have a good understanding of your thresholds for exercise. Please seek individual advice from a medical professional.
Thanks for the response, very helpful. I have just started walking as my start-up exercise. Am getting stronger and better, thanks.
I had a quadruple bypass back in 2020..I am 54 yrs old...i run 5 miles Monday thru Friday...i run 7 mph on the treadmill....is this exercise good?..or is this exercise to intense on the heart?
It might be OK. I can't really answer this for you personally, as what is OK for one isn't for anther.
Hi....I m glad that I found you. I have a son who will be 7 years old next April. He had a heart surgery last year, now he is better but he is dwelling Infront of screen more than often . I want to admit him to a karate kids club so he will get a chance to meet other kids and will be physically more active. But given his heart condition I can't be sure if it will be safe for him. Please can you give your thoughts on this?? What do you think?
Great question. As a Tae Kwon-Do instructor myself, I can say that the type of class will probably be OK for him. However, it's worth asking the instructor lots of questions regarding their first aid protocols if there is an incident, the type of training the kids conduct in the lesson (how intense it is physically), what qualifications the instructor has and if they have experience with teaching to children with heart conditions. Get a feel for the instructor, and if you are filled with confidence, then it should be OK. If you come away with doubts, then look for an alternative. The martial arts world has some fantastic teachers, but unfortunately some really poor ones.
@@ExerciseForHealth I agree with you , I will consult with the karate instructor before I admit. Thank you for your prompt reply.
How about with LVH?
Take a look at this one: ruclips.net/video/FBdf5kSt8Jo/видео.html
How about running or jogging is it safe
It might be OK? It depends on how hard your heart has to work as a result. Best to get individual advice from your doctor on this.
dude i was doing my usually push ups (50) and when i make the stop for do more 25 i few strange and i know i have some heart disease and can be that when i finish the last 25 push ups my hands start vibrate and here i feel strange i drink a lot water since that happening( don't have nothing "healthy " in my home i don't can drink the milk have it because also i have lacto intolerance and another option for me is powder juice but is a lot suspect drink that a lot sugar and also this happening just can be because yesterday i don't drink a lot water, and because don't eat nothing before i make that exercises. can be my anxiety too i don't know date love is tough i just have it 22 years old.
If you're 22 it would be rare for you to be suffering with heart disease (unless it's congenital), as most people with this will be between 60 and 80 years of age.
@@ExerciseForHealth is the crap of anxiety thanks

Just suffered a heart attack ( big one) always done overhead should er press, benchpress, deadlifts and squats. Feel gutted that the overhead one may now be dodgy for me
It carries an increased risk on the heart, yes, but you can find alternatives that will still train your shoulders
@@ExerciseForHealthI've been on the NHS cardio rehabilitation for 4 weeks now. I've been doing under their supervision, benchpress, overhead press, squats, and general resistance weight training. I'm even allowed to do these at home now.
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 no doctor, but I would recommend that you undergo a cardiac rehabilitation programme so you can learn about what exercise is best for you with the advice of a cardiac team in an exercise setting. Once you have been equipped with this knowledge, you can use it to get back to training again when appropriate.
I'm confused. I had heart attack 6 months ago and planning to go to gym and lift weights. Does this video mean i cant?
No, lifting weights is OK. Just don't lift really heavy or lift them repetitively above your head :-)
@@ExerciseForHealth sorry for this stupid question... but i think all weightlifting moves above head right? Should i just do squats and deadlifts?
@@dahnleycabreros4151 Not at all... most weight moves are shoulder high or lower. You can search RUclips videos for simple weight lifting moves. Best wishes!
I think I have a heart problem because I hear whooshing when I move my arms and I think that’s a sign of clogged arteries I’m not sure though
Speak to your doctor if you are worried
Can i plAy football /soccer for an hour , i always run , is that safe
I would check with your health professional/ doctor, as it may be OK, but it might not be depending on the severity of your disease.
Can i do bench press
It maybe OK, depending on your health condition/ goal/ workout intensity etc etc. Watch this video for further advice on the top 10 exercises which might help ruclips.net/video/OHVdYOggcco/видео.html
Can fly after having stents
I'm not sure if this is a question (can I fly after having stents?), then it's yes after a period of a couple of weeks. Or if you're saying you can "fly" as you feel much better after having the stents fitted, then great!
Thank you, yes my question is if I can fly after having stents. I have 5 stents a year ago I feel much better now , but I worry ,
how about planking
The plank is not recommended due to the isometric nature of the exercise. Take a look at this video I did on the top 10 most popular exercises: ruclips.net/video/OHVdYOggcco/видео.html
Hello i was working out one month ago with weight bar for biceps one month ago. The i felt pain in my lower chest. I stopped the workout but after a day the pain shifted to the upper portion of the chest.after 2 weeks of this i took ECG but there was no problem in it...so i decudee to rest for 2 weeks.but now also when i am doing some strenuous activities or lifting small weights my chest is paining.what to do? Is there any problem with my heart.is it normal that the chest pain lasts for more than 1 month? Please reply
It's probably worth getting it checked. I'm not medically trained, but it could be a pulled intercostal muscle (between ribs) for example that might be giving you the symptoms of pain in the chest. Get a doctor to check it for you though.
Did you got it checked? What was it
I had the same problem had to get 2 stents so go see your doc
We are the same... I had a stent last April and last July... I'm suffering chest pain in my upper chest specially in the clavicle and right chest but my cardio says it's not from the heart..its costochondritis
They find my heart attacks through blood test. Never ELG . Troponin
Elevated
What about the Whim Hoff method ?
Another subscriber has mentioned this in the past for anxiety. Not sure if this method will reverse the cardiovascular disease but it may help manage other health aspects. I don't know much about it, so wouldn't want to comment as to its benefits.
I had an SVT (heart rate 165 for over 8 hrs before I went into the ER) a few months ago and they put me on diltiazem to keep my heart rate down, and they taught me vagal maneuvers to do in case it happens again. I want to get stronger, but just walking across my house raises my heart rate to 150 and my chest starts hurting. They couldn’t figure out why I had the SVT and didn’t give me any information on how to get better. Hospital doctor told me to lose weight, and then sent me on my way… idk what to do and I don’t have insurance so I can’t just keep going to doctors who won’t tell me how to get better.
Sorry to hear this and I hope you can find a way to solve it. Good luck.
Smh that’s corny I hope you get better , how do you feel rite now?
Why should i do exercise then? that sh*it is going to kill me 😂
Ha ha
Mostly just waffle lots untruths here unless u working out on the operating table or in the middle of a Heart attack
Don't understand what you're trying to say, sorry.
Something tells me this guy doesn’t take any of his exercise advice.
Not sure what this means?
Im only 30 and was a sedentary heavy smoker since my entire 20s...i recently stopped smoking and started jogging.
I get pain in my left chest and burning... sometimes nausea nd chills too..they go away as soon as i stop or reduced intensity... I'm really scared..
Speak to a doctor who can give you individual advice
Fantastic videos....helping is get through lockdown!
You're welcome
