Welcome to Exercise For Health
If you have suffered a heart attack or had cardiac surgery, and have then undertaken a rehabilitation programme with a specialist cardiac team, then this video is a great way to maintain your activity levels at home. The format is similar to many of the Phase 4 Cardiac Rehab classes that take place across the UK in leisure centre and community based settings, but adapted for you to do in a home environment. I would recommend following this routine no more than 3 times a week and ensuring you have at least 48 hours between each session. It could also supplement your current Phase 4 Cardiac Rehab programme. The temperature of your exercise environment should be between 18 and 23 degrees Celsius. Please act responsibly if you choose to take part in this video, and listen carefully to the advice given before starting.

I had a STEMI back in 2021, and I almost died in transport to another hospital, after surgery and a shiny new stent in an artery that was blocked 99 percent, I am feeling great, I still have one that is at 70 percent blocked that is being treated with meds so therefore AT TIMES I still have some angina, but nothing I cant handle, but anyways, I found your videos after I came home and opted to do my own cardiac rehab with the approval of my Cardiologist, and they are PERFECT for heart patients, I still do them at times just for a refresher and to feel good... I am 55 years old, was 52 when I had my heart attack..

@ExerciseForHealth 5 месяцев назад

I'm glad this has helped you. I'm doing another heart health exercise programme you can follow in early March so stay subscribed for that one!

What a great channel! Had a mild MI and had 2 stents inserted then completed cardio rehab classes which were fantastic but then caught covid a couple of weeks later in the gym,so your home based exercises are perfect for my needs. One more happy subscriber. Thanks.

@venusdsouza2362 2 года назад

I do not understand why there are only 31k views on this video. This is the exercise program that has to be circulated to people with hypertension. I have fluctuating BP issue. When I have high BP I do these exercises for 2-3 days and my BP gets normal to the point that sometimes it gets to the border of low BP. Then I skip these exercises and just do some stretch exercises. For me, this exercise program is medicine for hypertension. Thank you, Richard!

@nancylouin2002 Год назад

Thank you, Richard for this video! I had takotsubo syndrome (sudden left ventricular dialated cardiomyopathy) several years ago and did go through a cardio rehab program. My heart returned to normal at that time, according to the cardio. I kept asking the cardiologists and endocrinologists here in the usa what could be the cause of this and the cause of my hypertension. They just said that "there is no cause, you just need to take drugs for life" several debilitated years later, I figured out that I had adrenal tumors secreting aldosterone. The endos and cardios told me that, "There is more money to be made from lifelong treatment than curing the problem". In the usa it is estimated that 20% of hypertensives have this issue. I had surgery to remove the tumors 2months ago and my BP is much better but I am having serious exercise intolerance and fatigue. I believe that it's due to adrenal fatigue so I'm trying to support my adrenals until they recover. I did the warm up today and plan on continuing this video at least until I can do the whole thing. My heart is not as strong as it was back then but I want to do anything I can to improve once more.

Luckily it recovered quickly but its dented my confidence even further now in regards to excerise. Im glad you uploaded this, i will try this in a day or 2 time.

@ExerciseForHealth Год назад

I would recommend that at the moment you stick to doing supervised exercise in a controlled setting. Once you have a good balance, then maybe try this video (as it's classed as phase 4, and you might be in phase 3 at the moment).

@AnomieTrain Год назад

These RU-vid videos for cardiac rehab at home are very helpful. Cardiac rehab can be very expensive in America. Three sessions per week for 12 weeks for a total of 36 sessions-my insurance paid $150 and I paid $75 per session. That's a total of $2700 out of pocket for me. Many people simply cannot afford this, so they skip cardiac rehab after a cardiac event. Doctors should be mindful about costs for their patients and tell them about cardiac rehab options for home.

@ExerciseForHealth Год назад

Gosh that is expensive. I think we are fortunate to have the National Health Service in the UK, because after patients have recovered in hospital they have 6 weeks (2 sessions a week) on Phase 3 which is provided by the NHS (for free), before being released into the community Phase 4 programme (doing something similar to the content on this video) where they would pay around £4 ($5) per session they attend once a week to help them continue being active and reducing the likelihood of a further cardiac event. This is very enlightening, thank you.

@ExerciseForHealth 2 года назад

Ha ha, great. Glad it works for you, and I hope you can find a local venue where you can continue to exercise in a group when the hospital programme finishes.

@danielbuckley3117 2 года назад

Thank you, I just found this video as I have been searching for a suitable home exercise plan as I am not having much luck getting into a hospital cardiac rehab after having 2 stents placed over 2 weeks ago. This looks exactly what I was hoping to find and look forward to starting this in the morning (too late now as just about going to bed when I found this). I also read the additional warnings too.

@ExerciseForHealth 2 года назад

I know in the UK many hospitals are struggling with demand following Covid backlog, but at least this programme offers what you would be doing in a hospital setting, but obviously not supervised. Hope it helps.

I am aslo been in cardio rehab once week for the last 4 weeks, next week will be my last session... I wanted to ask if it's ok to do same light abs crunches or similar as my past inactivity is kind of showing up on my belly.... do you think is this someting I can incorporate in my routine? Thanks again mate

@ExerciseForHealth 2 года назад

You can do some abdominal work but I wouldn't do it during your workouts, do it separately. Also, if you're keen to shift fat tissue, abdominal exercises won't be as effective as cardio and strength training coupled with a well balanced diet. However, if you want to strengthen your stomach muscles then dynamic floor exercises will be fine (NO PLANK!)

@ExerciseForHealth 8 месяцев назад

@markmoore3279 Год назад

After three times through, I have a couple of questions, please. First, I work out six days a week, and I'm alternating this workout with about 30 minutes of strength work with 15 and 25 pound dumbbells and about 15 minutes of seated and standing core work. Does that seem like a productive mix for cardiac health, please? Second, I've done a lot of interval training on my treadmill with my heart rate in the 125 to 135 range, the target range personalized for me by by cardiologist. When I do this workout, my pulse rate at the mid-point and at the end is 107. My resting pulse rate is typically in the 58-64 range. I am not, however, able to complete the entire routine at the highest level. My PT told me duration was always more important than intensity, so I'm doing it as hard as I can without exceeding the comfort range you recommend. My instincts tell me that if I keep on keeping on with this, I will be able to ramp up the intensity over time and that will get my heart rate above 120 with the same workout. Do you agree, please?

@ExerciseForHealth Год назад

Yes, that sounds good. Anything of a specific individual nature, it's worth using the advice of those that know you.

@Xbot4Life 2 года назад

This is great, its hard though. Im so deconditioned that i can do a day of exercise then the next day i have elevated HR (about 80bpm) and feel that my body is recovering.

@ExerciseForHealth 2 года назад

It will get easier, and it's good to not do the same exercise routine 2 days in a row to give your heart time to recover like any other muscle that's been exercised!

@Xbot4Life 2 года назад

@@ExerciseForHealth Very true, I'm just desperate to recover, but I will take my time. Just bought some resistance bands to help change things up too. Thanks again

@miked9260 3 года назад

Hello Richard so how do we know we are progressing with these exercises? You mentioned our heart should go up or something. Thanks

@ExerciseForHealth 3 года назад

As your fitness improves, your heart rate won't go up quite as high as it becomes more efficient. So you may see a lower resting heart rate and/ or a lower exercise heart rate. However, due to the nature of a cardiac rehab programme and its target audience that may have different heart conditions and medications, we would look for consistency each week, so the focus wouldn't necessarily be looking for big gains, but hopefully improvements in an ability to carry out activities of daily living and an increase in confidence (following such a traumatic event).

@ExerciseForHealth 3 месяца назад

Please wait. Normally, this type of exercise is prescribed in the UK to people 12 weeks after that type of surgery and after they've been exercising supervised by a cardiac nurse. So I would be patient and check with your doctor/ cardiologist before starting (as everyone will heal differently).

@ExerciseForHealth 2 года назад

There will be an element of increase risk with both those exercises, particularly if you are finding the exercise very intense. But it might still be OK. It's really hard to say to people YES or NO to specific exercises if you don't know them, so I've tried to keep my exercises and advice very general so they will be safe and effective. If you're doing push ups with your hands on a bench, and pull ups on an angle so not completely vertical, then this will reduce the intensity and reduce the risk but still work the muscles effectively. However, if you're very strong and fit and can do 50 full strict push ups on the ground and 20 strict pull ups on a bar without feeling challenged, then putting these exercises in to a workout aren't going to be as much of a risk.

In my line of work, I didn't see anyone to offer advice to until about 9 weeks after their heart attack/ cardiac event (if they had already had some form of cardiac rehab that I could take their information from) or 6 months after their event if they were sent to me via a GP. Therefore see if you can get some support for early rehab before doing a programme like this one.

This video is more of a Cardiac Rehab workout for those that have suffered a heart attack. I have done lots of other videos that might help you. Take a look at the playlist here: ru-vid.com/group/PLf9i8qFtMBBK1VBEA-IlSw7VrXxrvxHUF

Yes, this should be OK. Just take it at a steady pace that you can manage. It might be worth you watching one of my other videos for reference too here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FBdf5kSt8Jo.html

Sir, my friend is 27 years old and have dialated cardiomyopathy.. And he is also obese.. What kind of exercise may help him.. Please recommend some

It's difficult to offer advice for someone without knowing their full situation. I recommend they get advice from a doctor on what is best for them.

Does it help with heart failure? Than you!

@ExerciseForHealth 2 года назад

Yes, you can use this workout if you have heart failure. Just adjust the intensity/ time if needed based on your ability

That's a wonderful video... I was looking for such thing .. difficult to find cardiac rehab in India. Got 2 stents after MI... a month ago. Was an active player before that. Can u please suggest if I can start with this regime directly. How can I contact u

@ExerciseForHealth Год назад

Normally, this is the type of exercise routine one would do in the UK after their phase 3 cardiac rehab (which is 6 weeks supervised by a cardiac team undergoing similar exercises to this) or 6 months later if they've been referred by their doctor. If you are 1 month in from your surgery and have had no formal exercise programme to follow/ take part in, then I would speak with your doctor to find out what you can do now before starting this routine.

Hi... my heart rate is generally around 65 to 77 but before periods it's near about 90... is it normal?

@ExerciseForHealth 2 года назад

This is a natural response due to the sympathetic nervous system. Heart rate is elevated before starting an exercise routine as the brain is preparing your body for exercise. This is OK, just monitor it to gauge it's response regularly before and during the exercise.

@riyanath3391 2 года назад

@anjanabankapur8615 Год назад

Heart pumping rate is 30% ,can improve with this exercise, please advise 🙏

@ExerciseForHealth Год назад

Your ejection fraction can improve according to some studies but I'm not sure if exercise is as a direct result. It's probably worth speaking to your cardiologist about this as they're the experts.

I'm not a cardiac patient, I'm 27, skinny (6 foot 3, 10 stone) and have lived a 100% sedentary life for the past 9 years. I wake up, move around at a very leisurely pace to get food and clean myself, I maybe stand up for 15 minutes out of my 16 hour day. Would this be good exercise for me to re-build my heart, I tire out incredibly quickly, but I can always return to normal heart rate after 4-6 minutes of rest. (My heart rate is normally 82-86) I tried this for about 15 minutes and my heart rate rose to 145, but I felt fine and recovered quickly. I just want to know if this would be safe for someone like myself, who isn't a cardiac patient, but has been 100% sedentary for almost a decade? I understand that getting an hour of exercise in and then 15 hours of sitting won't help, it will need to be a constant hourly thing, Could I do this once every hour for 10-15 minutes? Just something light, maybe not even exercising but instead just walking around for a while? Edit: I tried doing this about 24 hours after originally posting this comment (28th nov 2022) but only managed 1 circuit, my heart rate went to 170, which is like 50 points higher than it's been in 9 years, and I felt about a 6-7 on the scale by the end. But It only took me again, about 5 mins to go back down to 85. I think I'm going to adopt this routine at least once a day, with trying to stay stood up a lot throughout the day to make sure not to invalidate my efforts (Since it's been proven that staying sat down for longer than 4 hours straight basically nullifies mild and even intense workout.)

You can do this workout or try any on my playlist here: ru-vid.com/group/PLf9i8qFtMBBK1VBEA-IlSw7VrXxrvxHUF Some are as little as 10 minutes long to get you up and moving. They will all be suitable for someone of your age with no health conditions but who leads a sedentary lifestyle. Good luck

Do you offer virtual 1:1 training?

@ExerciseForHealth Год назад

No, as I work 42 hours a week in my main job and run a business as a Tae Kwon-Do club instructor and do this RU-vid channel as a hobby. Hopefully in the future if this channel grows, I may be in a better position to explore other opportunities and give up my main job, but that's a long way off!

Hello Richard, do you work as a rehab trainer?

@ExerciseForHealth 3 года назад

Yes, I qualified as a BACPR exercise instructor in 1998 and have been delivering Phase 3 and 4 cardiac rehab since then in leisure centre settings.

@miked9260 3 года назад

We have here in the US only 2 phase 3rd is on your own. Can you tell a bit more about phase 4?

@ExerciseForHealth 3 года назад

Ah OK. The set up in the UK may be slightly different. Phase 1 is the initial intervention in hospital, Phase 2 is the hospital recovery, Phase 3 is the closely monitored 6 week exercise rehab programme with a cardiac nurse and exercise specialist in either a hospital or leisure centre setting, then Phase 4 is the ongoing weekly community exercise rehab class in a leisure centre or community hall setting.

@jameskerry3826 Год назад

Could you pls comment...One of the reasons of exercise (beyond strengthening the heart for extended life), is to "train" your heart to be able to do "bursts" (accelerated physical movement suddenly). IF YOU CANNOT EVER IMPROVE (THIS) AREA, THEN ONE CAN NEVER TRAIN/IMPROVE ONESELF TO: DANGEROUS SITUATIONS THAT COULD/LIKELY OCCUR AT SOME POINT IN LIFE, THAT REQUIRE "RAPID/SUDDEN" MOVEMENT. THE EXEMPLES ARE TOO NUMBEROUS TO LIST. NOR EVER BE ABLE TO DO MANY OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE JOYS OF LIFE. THEY ALL REQUIRE SUDDEN/RAPID MOVEMENT. The "gradual" workout is great and has its place...but isn't there ever place for the reality just described. Thank you.

@ExerciseForHealth Год назад

Yes agree that more dynamic/ explosive movements may be required in certain life situations, however, this video follows the BACPR guidance for people that have suffered a heart attack or have other cardiovascular conditions, so that's why it's delivered in this format. This will still strengthen the heart for those potential life situations anyway, but in a safer way than conducting high intensity explosive movements.

@jameskerry3826 Год назад

@@ExerciseForHealth Thank you...and my comment was for (ppl that may have cardiac issues)...to help (them) train their heart - if it's possible - for this, above described, situations.
