    I walk between 1.5-5 hours depending on the day with relative ease.

    What kind of heart issues do you have?

    My heart goes into AFib and Mitral Valve Prolapse with regurgitation.

    For the past 3 weeks I've been doing brisk walking at a incline of 6 or more everyday. My heart doctor cleared me the other day to start using my elliptical again. I've been doing 30 min of brisk walking at a incline of 6 or more AND doing 30 min on the elliptical the past couple days.

    Yesterday after working out I felt extremely drained the rest of the day. So I decided to take today off.

    I figured since I'm pretty sedentary throughout the day other than cleaning the house and exercise it would be ok to workout everyday. But everything I've read says 5 days a week is sufficient.

    What's everyone's opinion on this?

    Are you trying to lose weight? Or just stay healthy? Why are you seeing a heart doctor?

    Lose weight and help improve cardiovascular health.
