I've been doing your exercise to reduce blood pressure videos for about a year. I've just given this one a try and will def. be doing it regularly. I'm 71 years old and want to keep going! Thanks Richard.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Well done! That's great to hear and gad you enjoy them.

[@koolblokecanbr]

I am leaving this message, Richard, to specially thank you for this vidéo. I had a cardiac arrest back in May and am enrolled in a rehab program at the local hospital. Your videos have been supplementary to that and are helping a lot with my recovery. Wishing you a Merry Xmas and the best in 2024 !

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Love this comment. Thank you for your kind words and I'm so glad that these videos are helping you.

[@karenwhitehead9200]

this is definitely my favourite rehab video i have been using it a couple of times a week when rehab has been cancelled and it gives me confidence that i can keep improving after my official rehab sessions have finished, very easy to follow, clear and encouraging presentation, thank you

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Great to hear!

[@kohkoh17]

Love this shorter version as it helps me on my recovery journey with less stress and more confidence!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Great, glad you enjoy it

[@mariantobin9815]

I noticed when I work out at the fitness (40 minutes) center and then The Mini Cardiac Rehab Home Programme my RPE and Pulse is in the range of what works for my body, rather than before I would work the Cardio first. My commitment is to have a healthy heart muscle. I am 75 years and going strong!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Awesome, well done!!

[@paulacoulthard8875]

Since my heart valve replacement in June 22 I feel now my fitness has come back but still do the 10 min warm-up and cool down. Thank you for your videos, they're very informative. I've been exercising consistently since Sept once I'd broken through learning how to walk longer distances and slowly build up stamina. Sometimes it's good to go back to basics and cardiac rehab training is really good for our health . Thank you 😊

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Great to hear. Look out for my video on heart valve conditions, out today!

[@julianfreeman4683]

Thanks so much Richard: your videos have been a constant over the last 10 months or so, and the variety makes life a lot more interesting. Keep on keeping on.

[@sinarankarisma2024]

After years of waiting for the safest cardiac exercises, i feel confident now to try them. I have three stents ihd and angina.😊 aged 66years.😊 as we all know heart attacks now catching young gen. fast. I pray your you tube reaches as many as possible. Bless the souls that need the most in time and prevention is better....

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Thank you

[@mariantobin9815]

I have been participating in this exercise video every day since July 7, 2023, and will continue indefinitely. You had about 1000 views at that time, and now over 29.000 views. Congrats on making such a successful video! My heart thanks you. Note: my husband started joining me on November 15th, 2023, and now we do it together every day.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Wow this is awesome and it sounds like I have you to thank for most of the views!! Great job and if you want some variety, check out some of my others in the workout playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLf9i8qFtMBBK1VBEA-IlSw7VrXxrvxHUF

[@edwardperez1340]

I'm a PTA for over 18 years, having just gone through mitral valve repair 1 week ago, I thought I would do rehab on my own. Found your video and it keeps me on track. thanks

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Glad it helps

[@SylviaKalungiYPE]

Thank you so much Richard for always ensuring that our heart and cardio health I top notch. Stay blessed.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Thank you so much

[@Kirindis]

Just joined your youtube but was able to follow your instructions along till the end. I just realized how its changing my cardiovascular activity. This must continue.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Great and welcome to the club!

[@malcolmrobinson503]

a brilliant work out video after my heart attack.Just the exercise routine that I needed.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Great to hear! Thank you

[@dora9368]

Thank you Richard. I do this whole video Monday thru Friday. I appreciate you 😊

[@ExerciseForHealth]

You are so welcome.

[@mariantobin9815]

Today is day nine of doing this workout. I am noticing that my body temperature is a little higher thanks to better circulation. Thanks for this video. I find it to be challenging on a scale of one to ten, about an eight so far. I am doing this 7 days a week first thing in the morning.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

That's great that you're doing so well with this. If you've had a cardiac rehab intervention in the past then stick with about a 4-6 on the 0-10 scale as mentioned in the video. This is also something you don't have to do everyday as your heart needs to recover like any other muscle!

[@mariantobin9815]

@@ExerciseForHealth Hi Richard, I find that when I breathe, I am breathing mostly from my chest rather than from the abdomen. Do you have any suggestions for me to practice moving my breathing to a deeper level? Or a video recommendation.

[@MarcosAugustine]

Im 19 and didnt workout or leave my room or house too much for 7 years and i ate unhealthy foods and i smoked and drank with my buddies too much, i noticed my heart rate speeding up just while standing up and down, this is my first time trying this and it was fun! Im at the half part, my heart rate was pretty pretty fast for the workouts but i got it back down after 5 or so mins, im going to come back to do this more before i see my doc so he can let me know if its gotten better (i havent been to the cardiologist yet) but i know this will help get my heart back strong, thanks richard! Means alot

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Great to hear stories like this and so glad it has helped you with making positive changes. Well done!

[@mistyhall8088]

Oh WOW! I love these exercises it's what I have been looking for, something I can feel comfortable doing. Thank you for making this video, God bless you.

Thanks bro

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Welcome

[@jackiescott6075]

this was a perfect level for me - had valve replacement in May and Sepsis (unrelated went in hospital for sepsis and they discovered valve problem) was fairly fit before but my legs/arms are still a little weak from muscle loss from the sepsis so this was great - didn't get cardio rehab as I was on antibiotics for months so they wouldn't see me. Been walking a lot lately but felt I needed some cardio

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Glad this has helped you.

[@ilaganteresitaamado2777]

Good exercise❤😊

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Thanks

[@bcbart82]

I enjoy all of your cardio/heart exercise videos. I dont do this one often because of the 90 second intervals and with my shoulder issues it challenges me. If this is a gentle id hate to see a vigorous haha. (I have used your shoulder videos also) I wanted to ask, where did you learn all of these amazing exercises? Sumo squat, Romanian deadlifts, vulgarian split squat, rows, icke shuffle, spotty D, the list goes on and on :) love your channel thank you so much!

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Glad you're enjoying it. I've built up a repertoire of thousands of exercises working in the health & fitness industry over the last 27 years!

[@streb6]

This is an excellent programme and it has components to cover all body parts and joints whilst heart and circulation improves with it. Feel rejuvenated. I don't do it everyday but try to do at least three times a week or every other day. Thank you.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

That's perfect, well done.

[@FarhanKhan.uk44]

Hi good work One request if possible can you add timmer on screen please it will be more fun Thankx for a great workout

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Yes I forgot to add this in during editing which is a shame. I can't amend it now unfortunately!

[@lizjones184]

Best friend....lots health issues, 3rd heart attack last week. Loads weight to lose tjough lost loads already he wants to get fitter towards normal fir age 58, but also build stamina. So starting from able to walk on flat for 5 miles a day. . But no stamina though after first heart attavks in 2018 hasnt really tried cos of worry. He can hold a job due to fibro, CFS, slipped discs and more. He just nought multigym as needs support for back. He hasnt used it yet. He is pottering about for now.

[@IlangagePerera-bk9yw]

Is this exercise good for the people who had triple by pass surgery and working normal ? Surgery was done than 10 years ago? This exercise looks well organised and managed?

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Yes this should be OK as well as my full cardiac rehab video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJOmnHh9f6mbrpY

[@daryldoyal8315]

I'm very interested in this routine but I have a couple of questions. Is this a daily routine or x amount of times per week? Is there a certain time of day that would be best, first thing in the morning or maybe after work, before or after meals or does it matter? I'm 65 with a stent from two years ago.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

You could do this daily as it's cardio based, but 3-5 times a week would be optimum. In terms of time, any time that suits you but you may find before lunch or early afternoon (2 hours after lunch) would be better.

[@daryldoyal8315]

Thank you@@ExerciseForHealth

[@ruaplipatel2921]

Hello sir , i am 18 year and Thanks richad sir for this i have been doing this for 2 weeks and it's really amazing for my heart ......caz i am a Takayasu arkatis patient that's why my bodys vevls are blocked and it's damaging my heart so thank you so much sir for this exercise ❤❤

[@ExerciseForHealth]

So glad to hear this is helping you.

[@robertballesteros2275]

I have my major CABG done last Feb 5th 2024 and my team of doctors and RN's, in-house PT/OT and Pastors at my church were taken by surprised that I am able to move aroind the hallways at the 3-ICU without assistive device. I am an early riser at 7am and we went walking exercise with my PT. I can climb the 12 plight stairs at home at day 2! And at day 3 after D/C, I can walk about total of 100 ft back and forth. Second week, I was independent in my ADL'S. Can I proceed and begin my Phase 2 Cardiac Rehab in the next 3 to 5 days? Pls advise me. Thank you. Or, should I wait for the sternum to heal 70% prior to begin my cardiac rehab Phase 2?

[@ExerciseForHealth]

I have only offered advice to people that are 12 weeks after their surgery/ cardiac event once the cardiac team have monitored them with supervised exercise in a hospital setting (this is phase 3 in the UK) and pass on details to me so I can make appropriate exercise prescription for their phase 4 community setting (in the gym or class environment). I can't obviously advise individuals on this platform anyway not really knowing the full details of their health etc, but even at this stage I am not qualified to offer you any advice and you should speak with your cardiac team.

[@MarilynMay-ev5pi]

Had my third valve replacement in September 2023. Still really struggling to get any stamina or anything done.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Hope this helps

[@susannichol7025]

I have microvascular angina my BP is unstable will these exercises help my blood pressure

[@ExerciseForHealth]

This should be OK, but check your resting BP before you start making sure it's below 180/100.

[@robertballesteros2275]

Words Have Power! Words do not come back void till it accomplished its intended original purpose of which it was sent, ( Isaiah 55:11 in the Bible). My 1st nurse at day 1 at CV-ICU wrote in my heart pillow this: "WISHING YOU A SPEEDY RECOVERY! LOVE, BRANDY". Did you know? GOD is LOVE and Love is of God! I owed it to God my extra-ordinary SPEEDY RECOVERY thru my Nurse Brandy! Two messages on a ballon "GET WELL SOON" is redundant. But other inspiring POSITIVE MESSAGES on a balloons, i.e. WELCOME BACK! ; CONGRATZ!; I LOVE YOU!; YOU DID IT! FEEL BETTER!, etc are much better than overused "GET WELL SOON" balloon message.😢

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Nice

[@PrincessDumisileQwabe-is2wh]

In my case I think I must not do any exercise that is costing me to lift my hands/ arms above my head. Otherwise I suffer the consequences 😢. As I speak I'm sleeping like sitting after i had arms up exercise yesterday. Mine is ventricular septum defect 😢.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Take care and do what you can within your limitations.

[@Pa_Nu]

👍🙏🍀

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Thanks

[@mariantobin9815]

Yes that's when the workout starts as written in the description :-)

[@Tstormer]

I'm doing this cause I've been too fat for too long and I need my BP down for good

[@ExerciseForHealth]

I hope you enjoy it

[@mugabirwegauda8064]

When I am doing this my legs become too week , why?

[@ExerciseForHealth]

I can't answer your question I'm afraid!

[@EmperorStyleMilim]

I always easily get tired maybe about time I exercise😂

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Yes start with a little that's manageable and build up over time.

[@Amornyo]

Thanks im doing it everyday atleast 10-15mins it helps a lot🫰🏼

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Awesome, well done!
