“What are the best exercises after heart surgery?”

Well, the first thing is to ask your surgeon what you are able to do. What are your restrictions? Second, do not do anything that will stress your chest until you are cleared by your surgeon. Third, you should only do exercises that are low impact and low overall stress to the body while allowing for long enough effort to get your heart rate up. Stationary biking can be good. Walking is the unsung hero of all post-surgery exercises. If you don't have something to do, Walk!!. You can walk a mile and get your heart rate up without stressing your body.

Overall, choose something that can get your heartrate up without overly stressing your body as you heal and Most of ALL...... get clearance from your surgeon!!!!!

Consult Cardiac rehab and PT/OT.
