What are the exercises that a post myocardial infarction patient shouldn't be doing?

Well you haven't given much info. It depends on quite a lot. Generally if one has had a heart attack recently one should be getting supervised physical therapy and following professional Provider orders closely.

Anyway, heavy lifting is out of the question. Best Exercise is walking, at least three times per day, at 15 to 25 minute intervals and at a very tolerable pace, increasing each week up to a total of an hour at once time per day. Cardiovascular exercises such as walking, bicycling, etc. should be done steadily and with moderation, on an ever increasing gradient. Since you didn't say, you should have a health care provider do an exercise and diet program for you in the least. Also what kind of prescriptions do you have? You may email me privately if you like.

It is best to talk with your cardiologist. He/She may recommend that you visit a nutritionist as well as an occupational or physical therapist. These professionals as well as nurses, medical assistants, and licensed professionals can help you to monitor your average cardiac output in relation to your activity. Your doctor may suggest a stress test as well as monitoring your heart with telemetry or electrocardiogram. Lastly seeing a licensed fitness instructor or aerobics instructor may be beneficial as well.

Don't be doing sprints.


Walk 1.5 miles 4 times a week.
