    Hi Tony:

    I've been told to carry out 4 sessions a week of hard Aerobic exercise for 30 mins minimum.  I'm 62 years old and had a mitral heart valve repair in 2016.  Subsequently I have developed some stiffening of the left ventricle.  My Cardiologist has suggested speed walking, swimming etc.  Have to say I've always been active but with breathlessness have naturally slowed down......need now to rev up it seems!  So plan is to do five sessions a week, and lose 10lbs by Christmas!  MAX SALSBURY
