How do you stay active?
After spending two years in hospice because of severe tricuspid valve regurg I started with chair exercises on to yoga then the treadmill. After a while I ventured outside and managed to walk 3 miles a day four times a week. Today 5 years post procedure I am hitting the gym 3-4 times a week which includes cardio. Never in my life have I been an active gym member and I love it!
I walk, do some strength exercises and stretches
I walk, use stationary bike
I actually don't
