A member asked:
I suffer from mitral valve prolapse (mild) and want to start exercising. what would be the best excercise?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Exercise: Thirty minutes of aerobic exercise minimum daily with more ok if no severe symtpoms. Light weight training 3 days a week. Start slowly and build up gradually to a program you can maintain for life. The aerobic exercise could be anything you'll actually do, walk, job, treadmill, bike etc. Which machine.....Well if you don't use it its furniture, so whatever you'll actually do...
