So I may be getting a new job that frees up my evenings quite a bit, and if I do, I wanna get back in the habit of working out for about an hour after I get off work. My boyfriend is out of shape and says he wouldn't mind joining me.
The only issue is that he has a heart murmur, and anaerobic exercise is out of the question. He has a leaky heart valve and has been told by all of his doctors to only do aerobic exercise.
I've told him about a workout regimen that JD told me about, which includes 10 minutes cardio and three rotations of various low-weight, moderate-rep exercises. Heart is constantly pumping for about 45 minutes, and the exercises don't bring you to muscle failure.
It's depressing because he really wants to get in shape, but he doesn't want to aggravate his heart condition. He already eats healthy.
