What exercises are recommended after a patient completes a cardiac rehabilitation program?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Anaerobic & aerobic: The exact exercises will depend on a number of factors. These include the exercise options at the facility, types of instructors, equipment, etc. However, the program itself should include both anerobic or resistance training like weights for strength as well as some activities aimed at increasing aerobic capacity as well.

Moderate exercise: Walking, cycling or other physical activities you enjoy are usually permissible, if you keep your pulse at 70-80% of your maximum heart rate.
