I had a stent put in and am now in recovery for 3 1/2 weeks. I am trying to figure out a good recovery training program. Have done very short 10 minute sessions on my trainer keeping heart rate within 30 points of my resting heart rate of 42. Am also walking up to an hour a day, 3.5 to 4 miles.

Any experiences or advice?
IMO the walking that you are doing is the best ,and easiest, activity you can do for now for your recovery.

A natural walk has been found to be the most natural intended activity for the human body.

So stick a cell phone in your pocket ,grab some tunes if you want, and go out for a nicel long stroll!
