ask your dr

Only your dr can tell you what is safe for you. Have you a had a stress test? That's when they watch you walk and see what your heart does. That's the best way to figure out your limits. Another option is cardiac rehab, a gym where you are supervised with medical personnel. You'd go there for a few weeks and they'll get you started.

You know you're wired when...

Your signature looks like an EKG.
