If you are feeling anxious and not sure what your body can cope with after a heart event, or major heart surgery - then Heartbeats CARDIO is right for you!
If you are scared of having another heart attack, overstressing your sternum wires, and worried about blowing open your recent coronary bypass, with any exercise or exertion - then Heartbeats CARDIO is right for you!
If you have heart failure and a low ejection fraction, where you can’t even climb some stairs without feeling out of breath and needing to sit down - then Heartbeats CARDIO is right for you!
CARDIO will help you regain your confidence, improve your wellbeing and quality of life and help your heart recover, for a longer, healthy life.
All while being supported every step of the way with fellow heart people, who are all going through the same thing, looking out for you, and ‘sharing the journey’. It’s the Heartbeats way!
CARDIO is an individualised, twelve-week, exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programme that includes clinical assessment of your heart and general fitness, and provides full wrap around psychological and dietary counselling for those who need it.
You are guided through the programme by a qualified Exercise Physiologist who will work with you to develop a personal exercise routine that is suited to your heart condition, degree of fitness and your own circumstances.
Through the programme, and afterwards, you will be encouraged and supported by ‘your CARDIO buddies’ to overcome any personal fitness and anxiety issues and complete the programme. Unlike the programmes offered by the public healthcare system, CARDIO has a proven 100% completion rate! We help you ‘knock the ball out of the park!
Groups are small with about three, but not more than four, members for each Exercise Physiologist. You will be called back for a check on your heart fitness and continuing exercise is reassessed at 3 months and 6 months after completion of the programme.
