Yes. Depends where you were stuck, wrist vs groin. Start easy first.
After an angioplasty <https://www.healthgrades.com/right-care/angioplasty/angioplasty> or stunting, get moving as soon as your doctor says it's okay.
1. Start slow. With time, as your health improves, increase your level of activity. For instance, start with walking at a pace that is comfortable for you. Slowly increase the time and distance each time you walk.
2. Aim for 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity physical activity per week. That the American Heart Association recommended the amount of exercise. Examples of moderate-intensity activities include walking, cycling, rowing, and climbing stairs.
3. Follow a well-rounded program. In addition to aerobic exercise, add muscle-strengthening activities two to three days per week. This will help you build a stronger, healthier body. Strengthening exercises include lifting hand weights or free weights, using a weight machine, or using elastic bands that provide resistance.
4. Sprinkle exercise throughout your day. Increasing your physical activity is about more than regular workouts about living a more active lifestyle. Look for opportunities throughout your day to be more active. This may mean parking farther away from buildings, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or fitting in a 15-minute walk during your lunch break.
Patients can expect to reach the pre-disease exercise status within one month of a stenting procedure.
Heavy exercise such as lifting weights or walking up steep slopes should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks.
Always check with your physician for exercise guidelines.
