π₯ Confidence and Continuity After Rehab
βThis has been a great help in regaining some confidence after my heart attack and heart failure. It has fitted in well with my rehab course with the hospital and it means I can continue exercising at a safe level going forward. Many thanks.β

π Slow & Fast β Itβs Not a Circuit - One Round, High Impact π₯ #slowandfast #cardiofitness #cardiacrehabilitation
This class breaks away from the usual circuit format.
π Each exercise is done once for 2 minutes (or stop at 1:30)
π Format: 4 slow reps + 8 fast reps β the contrast changes how the movement feels
π I use weights for some moves
π Want more? Rewind to 13:36 and repeat them all!
This method boosts control, cardio endurance, and coordination β ideal for those recovering from heart events or building fitness from home.

π₯ High Intensity β Two Sections πͺ #CardiacRehab #HeartHealth #HighIntensityExercise
π₯ High Intensity β Two Sections
Youβll spend 15 minutes in each section. There are 5 exercises in each section, and youβll complete two circuits of each. Itβs not quite non-stop, but it certainly has that feel!
Expect to use heavier weights than usual to push yourself a little further. Aim for an **RPE of 13β14**, peaking at **RPE 15** for some exercises β even I have to adjust what I do!
Youβll get hot and breathless at times without jumping around, so keep an eye on your RPE throughout.
π A strong, challenging workout that improves stamina, tone and the feel-good factor!

πΆββοΈ Post-Walk Workout β CV with Mini-Combinations
Prepare your room and the video before you leave the house to go for your walk.
Aim to walk for a **minimum of 15 minutes** β this serves as your warm-up. Start slow, build your pace and include hills, steps and brisk sections. Work towards an **RPE of 10β12** so you know youβre exercising and your muscles are warm.
When you get home, start the video straight away to move into the exercise section. Keep your **weights and water** close by for easy access.
If you canβt go for a walk, please use another warm-up video first so youβre ready to join this class.
π Great for building stamina, balance and strength while supporting heart health.
