Hi, I've just joined this forum because I am looking for advice for my husband. He had a heart attack two years ago, as a result of which he had a stent fitted and is now on medication for his heart problem. At the same time he was found to have T2 diabetes. He manages his diabetes pretty well without medication (so far) and exercise. My question is: what kind of exercise can he safely take? At present he is afraid to do anything more strenuous than walking in case he strains his heart. He is 60, with BMI around 20, and certainly doesn't need to lose weight: but it seems to me that he is losing muscle and I don't know whether it would be helpful for him to do additional exercise in addition to his walking.
I would be interested to hear from anyone in a similar situation with advice.
Thank you!
