Adherence
Cardiac rehabilitation involving moderate-intensity endurance exercise (≥150 min/week) combined with resistance training (3 sessions/week) improves functional capacity, cardiovascular risk factors, and weight loss in patients with obesity.
If you have obesity and cardiovascular risk, aim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise (like brisk walking) and 3 days of resistance training (weights) per week. This is a standard recommendation to improve your heart health and fitness. Start slowly and consider a supervised program if you have existing heart conditions.
European Guidelines suggest to perform at least 150 min per week of moderate-intensity endurance exercise training combined with three sessions of resistance exercise per week in individuals with obesity... Cardiac rehabilitation program improves baseline metabolic equivalents, cardiopulmonary fitness, and exercise tolerance in this setting.
