If i have a heart problem or heart disease can i still lift weights and exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is always advised to do exercise. That include aerobics (treadmill, bike, rowing, swimming, elliptical, etc) You may also do anaerobic: lift weights BUT should be more based in repetitions than HEAVY weights that could increase blood pressure and put a strain on the heart
