This depends on the nature of your heart attack. Your cardiologist and/or primary caregiver knows this and should give you advice on exercise, diet, meds, and lifestyle.
It varies from case to case but 4 weeks is as early as you should participate in vigorous exercise. Physical activity should resume in as little as two weeks.
