Cardiac Procedures? Any Walkers Runners here? (bike, cardio, pounds, heart)

[AADAD]

I posted in the journal section thought it might get a response here:

I recently has a stent placed into a coronary artery. Did not have a heart attack. I am walking 2 miles daily per MD recommendations. Planning to join the local club.

Any others here?

I have a fitbit watch and I try to walk 11,000 steps a day. For me that is 5.6 miles. I have several routes to walk and one includes about 3/4 miles of hill walking. At 66, I feel pretty good, except for my knees.

I had a stent placed in my 99% blocked LADA in 2012. I was fit, healthy and running half marathons at the time. Did a 10k the week before.

Didn't have a HA, just didn't feel right and had the sense to mention it to my wife who shoved me in the car and drove me to the ER.

Started running about 6 weeks after and ran a few more half's after that.

My knees are shot so no more running so I do Orange Theory 4-5 days a week.

I turn 60 in 1 month.

Ya gotta keep movin'!

No stents, but I had triple bypass 3 years ago. Can't really walk very far because of degenerated lumbar discs, so I have to get my exercise in other ways. So I play golf ... walk as far as possible, ride the cart, then walk some more.

HA in 2017. stent saved me. 2 more later. lost 50 pounds and walk and bike. no problems. keep up the exercise, take meds and keep stress down. do a stress test regularly.

Thank you.

Putting it all together now. PT gives me stretching. Walking gives me cardio. Still tweaking the medications with MD.

May join the health club in town. Lots of features for an Island community.
