Exercise and Heart Disease

Posted on February 21, 2018

Exercise after a heart disease diagnosis can be difficult, but exercise can also help you improve mobility, lose weight, and reduce arterial plaques. Exercise can be challenging as an older adult, especially after surgery. Finding the motivation to exercise when you have heart disease is best done alongside others with heart disease who understand the obstacles and rewards.
