How do you stay active with CVD?
If you are living with cardiovascular disease (CVD), it does not mean giving up on having an active lifestyle. You can still engage in regular physical activity. It just might look different than before your CVD diagnosis. Even small amounts of movement are beneficial for heart health.
How do you stay active?
I go to a warm water pool and do exercises. It is easy on my joints. I do a little swimming to get my heart rate up.
I walk daily but I also work at a sedentary job so when I am alone, I fast walk all over the office just to see how many steps I can get in while everyone is gone.
Thanks for joining in on this conversation! It's so hard to stay active when you have a sedentary job, but I'm glad you found something that works for you. I wish you all the best! -Olivia
I work in a job that requires me to do various ways of moving like walking,bending, lifting (but not over 25 pounds) and so on that's how I do it
Hello and thanks for commenting! That's honestly the best situation as far as exercise goes. My job is remote so I find myself trying to get up and walk around the house and sometimes standing at my desk. I guess that gets the job done along with my treadmill. All the best! -Olivia
