Specializes in Cardiology

You are ok --: Because that is still within your age based maximum heart rate -- i would recommend aerobic/cardio exercise such as walking, jogging, elliptical, treadmill, running, swimming, cycling regularly -- and this is your time to build physical fitness and stamina. Happy exercise!
