Weight Training with HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY 

After surviving sudden cardiac arrest and being diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy I was afraid to exercise. Prior to surviving cardiac arrest and being diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, I was training to be a college basketball player. I was doing intense workouts and I was really fit. I didn’t really worry about my diet because I was in high school and exercising so much.
After being diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, I didn’t want to do anything to make my body go into sudden cardiac arrest again. I was afraid to work out. I was afraid to elevate my heart rate. I was afraid to do anything! I did not change my diet. Therefore, I started to gain weight which let to self-confidence issues.
In this video I talked about how I used cardiac rehabilitation to learn my body and learn how to exercise and how I do weight training while living with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
