AF: If by AF you mean atrial fibrillation, I'd advise against strenuous exercise. The heart is not pumping efficiently. First make sure that he is receiving proper medical care. In the future, his cardiologist should be the one to give your husband advice about exercise.

No: If your husband is in AFib, strenuous exercise can exacerbate and potentially cause uncontrolled AFib.
