Rick's Fitness/Health Goals

(1/11) > >>

SLYinKC:
As many of you know, I recently had a heart catherization procedure and stent implant due to having one of my main cardiac arteries being 98% blocked.  Just to put that inperspective, 2% more would be a heart attack. 

As part of my rehab process, my Cardiologist has enrolled me in a "Cardiac Rehab" program, which began today.  This program will run 3 times a week for 6 weeks and will consist of various fitness/workout routines that are performed while on a monitor to track heart function.  It also will entail education on stress management and diet education. 

I hope to come out of this with tools to help me avoid another blockage, or even worse, a heart attack or stroke.  I'm looking forward to getting into this program.  I had always considered myself to be in fairly decent shape and tried to monitor what I ate.  I also wasn't considered overweight, nor did I have high cholesterol numbers.  Hopefully, I can use this class to help me figure out some healthy lifestyle changes.  I'll try to post my progress and tips that I'm learning along the way.

Good Luck Rick. I would love to hear any suggestions for a healthier lifestyle. Like you, my cholesterol has been low, but heart issues have plagued my mom's side. Anything would be welcomed.

Good Luck.
Go Raiders!

Good luck, and all considered it's "living" with it that counts and this sounds like you're doing just that.  Let us know if there are any "tasty' ways to keep on the healthy side.

Rick ,I look forward to the feedback from you that  you get from these classes. I'm sure these will improve the quality of your life and allow you to continue to enjoy your friends and family.

Good to hear you are doing well.

Good luck Bro'

I hope you get some good tips on keeping the "shiney " side up and the rubber side down.
