Mr. Rambo is a 62-year-old retired teacher. He has been partially active until last year. Last spring, he had a myocardial infarction that caused him to make some adjustments on his exercise routines. His past medical history includes: hypertension(under control), Hyperlipidemia (under control) and no other known conditions.
His doctor recommends him to be active but careful with the way he plans his exercise. What considerations do you think he needs to have regarding his exercise plan? Can he exercise at all, or he should leave it due to the risks it might have?
Create a safe workout plan for him in details with regards to the intensity and type of exercise. (One week only).
Keep in mind that his heart rate must be very carefully controlled. What could be a safe HR range during his workout?
