You will be encouraged to attend the exercise and/or education sessions (held once a week for up to 8 weeks).
The education sessions are delivered in an informal group setting to encourage discussion and to allow time for questions. These are delivered on a face-to-face basis where possible, and online. Topics include:
- Medications
- Healthy eating
- Risk factors for heart disease
- Anatomy and physiology of the heart
- Activity and exercise
- Returning to everyday life
- Stress and the heart
The exercise sessions will be group based and include people with various heart conditions with mixed capability for exercise. You will have an individualised programme specific to your needs and goals - determined at your initial assessment appointment. These sessions will be monitored throughout, with supervision being reduced as you progress through the programme.
