Education Sessions These are held either just before, or just after, the exercise sessions . You may attend these before you start the exercise programme, and your partner or spouse are also welcome to come along with you.This is a rolling programme of talks so you can start at any time.
Why come to the activity session? • We aim to teach you what levels of activity you can practise safely on a day to day basis, and how to increase these levels of activities safely. • To help build your confidence and reduce anxiety levels. • To help reduce the occurrence of symptoms. • To reduce the risk of future coronary events. • To make your heart and other muscles stronger and more efficient. • To help control blood pressure. • To maintain and improve flexibility.
