It is said that life lies in exercise, and cardiovascular patients should also exercise more. So which exercises are suitable for cardiovascular patients? Let's take a look.

Exercise is good for health, especially for patients. So how do cardiovascular patients exercise? Let's find out.

How do cardiovascular patients exercise?

Don't run on a flat road or on a treadmill

Your goal should be to run in the mountains or to improve the treadmill incline. The mountain running mode will increase the heart rate level while increasing the calorie burn. It also has the benefit of strengthening your legs, improving your running form and bouncing speed.

Do not hold the armrests

But don't hold the armrests when you use a treadmill for cardiovascular workouts, let go of your arms and swing them back and forth, and don't cross your body (that will reduce the efficiency of the exercise)

Outdoor sports

If possible, outdoor exercises can be interspersed to increase the variety of exercise and improve the boredom of indoor exercise, such as treadmill exercise. Mountain biking and trail running are done on uneven surfaces to enhance enthusiasm and balance. Although there are very few parts of the body that are exercised, it is equally important to stabilize the muscles.

Use the interval workout feature

With the interval workout feature, you can increase the intensity of your workouts and increase the efficiency of your workouts to the limit. Combine an all-out sprint with a low-intensity workout or rest. For example, you can try a 10-meter sprint and then walk or jog back to the initial state of repeated sprints, and 0 to 0 sprints will allow you to reach your sport-only state.

Tension machine workouts

The same can be helpful for cardiovascular and strength improvement. Exercising with a two-hand puller can improve lung function and raise heart rate to the highest level in a fraction of the time of traditional exercises.

The more you exercise, the less you have to rest

Choose a 8 to 0 minute physical activity program, resistance exercises and cardiovascular-based exercises can be used as a way to exercise at a fast pace. Perform the first workout while pacing for the next workout, resting for two to minutes after each circuit and repeating each workout.

Hold rate

Use a heart rate monitor or GpS to record distance, rate and calories burned. Track every change in data to help improve and facilitate improvements to your workout program and avoid bottlenecks in your workouts.

Make exercise not boring

Listening to music while exercising can increase motivation and reduce burnout. Choosing some high-spirited and fast-paced music can keep your enthusiasm high throughout the exercise.

Exercise with a partner

Working out on the treadmill with a group of friends in the gym can make the atmosphere pleasant. Playing with others can increase motivation and avoid some wrong ways of exercising.

Exercise should be planned and continuous

Treadmill cardiovascular exercise to achieve results requires planning and sticking to your workouts. Whether it's after waking up in the morning, after lunch, or after work, your body should be fit for your workout at any time of the day. Stick to your workout plan and, of course, set your workout goals in a way that you can achieve.

What should I pay attention to during cardiovascular exercise?

1. Exercise only when you feel good. After a cold and fever, you should not exercise until more than two days after the symptoms have disappeared.

10. There should be sufficient preparation and end of activities before and after exercise (at least 0-0 minutes of low-intensity exercise).

Don't do strenuous exercise after meals. Strenuous exercise after meals can cause intestinal cramps, nausea and dizziness, and can also increase myocardial oxygen consumption and induce myocardial insufficiency.

3. Pay attention to the manifestations of excessive exercise: unable to complete the scheduled exercise, unable to talk during exercise, weakness or nausea after exercise, chronic fatigue, insomnia, joint soreness, etc.

4. Follow the principle of individual, step-by-step, and gradual adaptation, and avoid competitive sports.

5. Be alert to symptoms. If you notice any of the following symptoms, you should stop exercising and seek medical attention promptly. Discomfort in the upper body during exercise, such as soreness, burning, swelling pain; weakness and shortness of breath during exercise; Osteoarticular discomfort during or after exercise.

6. Adjust the exercise according to the season and environmental conditions.

7. Understand the limitations of personal physical fitness, check regularly, and revise the exercise plan.

8. For patients with coronary heart disease, strong physical activity can cause angina, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia or sudden death. Before participating in exercise therapy, patients should be examined for coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease. The need for a post-stress ECG before participating in exercise depends on the patient's age and the presence or absence of symptoms of coronary heart disease. Diabetics and people with coronary heart disease who want to participate in sports must do it under supervision and avoid strenuous physical activity.
