When you went through cardio rehab did they give you a list of recommended exercises? They usually do. However, I would think anything that you can ease into slowly is best; walking, stationary bike, elliptical, swimming would best. As far as your knees and back, I think swimming is one exercise that is gentle on the joints.
Good luck!0 -
you really need to run this one by your doctor.0

I could not do P.T. Co-pays with meds and doctor's too much for my budget. Need to do this on my own. Have will power , just need some extra know how !!! Have a list of simple stretches from the hospital, but I need other ideas . I have bands ( red, yellow, green, and blue) , 2-1 pound weights and my daughter has a pool I can use.0
