I am trying to condition my heart after having had a completely blocked right coronary artery opened and stented almost three years ago. THere were "several smaller blockages" seen on angiogram.
I have hit a milestone goal of mine. Yesterday I worked the ELLIPTICAL TRAINER machine for exacly ONE HOUR at a heart rate in excess of 80% of my age mediated maximum. No angina at all...just wobbly legs.
Since an hour is about all that I practically want to bear, I will now gradually push my heart rate gradually to 85 and 90% of maximum.
Upside is the hourlong workout allows me to watch an entire episode of something on the Sci-Fi channel
. Since each machine has it's own LCD screen, workouts are MUCH easier than just staring at a clock!
Two plus years ago, I thought I'd NEVER get to this level of aerobic exercise.
I really think my heart is cooperating and making all kinds of collateral vessels and even cleaning out the old clogs (I have my LDL at 62.)
