πŸ’ͺ Low-to-Moderate Intensity | No Set Timings, Just Steady Movement πŸ’š #lowintensityexercise #moderateintensityexercise #cardiacrehab

πŸ‘‰ I demonstrate both low and moderate-intensity options
πŸͺ‘ You can use a chair for balance or to stay seated

πŸ‹οΈ I’ll guide you on choosing the right weights for upper body work
πŸ“Š Keep an eye on your RPE as you move
πŸ’š This is all about steady progress – suitable for a range of conditions and fitness levels.

πŸ•’ Slow & Fast – It’s Not a Circuit - One Round, High Impact πŸ’₯ #slowandfast #cardiofitness #cardiacrehabilitation


This class breaks away from the usual circuit format.
πŸ‘‰ Each exercise is done once for 2 minutes (or stop at 1:30)
πŸ‘‰ Format: 4 slow reps + 8 fast reps – the contrast changes how the movement feels
πŸ‘‰ I use weights for some moves
πŸ” Want more? Rewind to 13:36 and repeat them all!
This method boosts control, cardio endurance, and coordination – ideal for those recovering from heart events or building fitness from home.

πŸ”₯ High Intensity – Two Sections πŸ’ͺ #CardiacRehab #HeartHealth #HighIntensityExercise

πŸ”₯ High Intensity – Two Sections


You’ll spend 15 minutes in each section. There are 5 exercises in each section, and you’ll complete two circuits of each. It’s 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 13–14**, peaking at **RPE 15** for some exercises – even I have to adjust what I do!

You’ll get hot and breathless at times without jumping around, so keep an eye on your RPE throughout.

πŸ’š A strong, challenging workout that improves stamina, tone and the feel-good factor!

πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈ Post-Walk Workout – 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** – this serves as your warm-up. Start slow, build your pace and include hills, steps and brisk sections. Work towards an **RPE of 10–12** so you know you’re 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 can’t go for a walk, please use another warm-up video first so you’re ready to join this class.



πŸ’š Great for building stamina, balance and strength while supporting heart health.
