How can one resume their fitness routine after surviving a massive heart attack? Start slowly, experts say.
Dr Ashish Mishra, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist, Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road shared a few to-dos for heart attack survivors to resume training.
Start with walking for five minutes daily at a time for the first week, then increase to ten minutes daily in the following week until you reach 30 minutes daily after six weeks.
If you’re a runner, for example, start with a modest jog for a block and then walk for a block before going further as you advance.
Your stroll should be slower at the beginning and towards the end.
