hi
when i see my cardio, he went through what was at that time the echo and explianed i had severe mitral valve regurgitation and needed surgery etc etc.
i asked him about exercise weight training swimming cycling etc and he said carry on as normal !!
I decided after reading various posts i would go light on the weights but do higher reps 3 sets of 15 reps ,still doing cross trainer ,a bit of cycling and walking but not going mad just keeping a steady pace ,
i know with some valve problems weights is a definate no no,anyone with severe MR been given any guidelines as to safe exercise and what you can and cant do before surgery
i want to keep reasonably fit and to lose a bit of weight without doing any damage!
