Wayne has been consistently attending his cardiac rehab sessions 2-3 days a week for the past 4 weeks. During the sessions he has progressed from 15 minutes of walking on a treadmill with an incline to 40 minutes at an RPE of 13/20 not including a 5 minute warmup and cooldown walking on the treadmill without any incline. He has declined to complete any resistance training because he wants to focus on building his endurance back up. He performes a hamstring, quad, and calf stretch at the end of his exercise session before checkout. On his tenth session Wayne tells you that he would like to give resistance training a try. Wayne only has 1 hour to complete his exercise prescription in cardiac rehab, but is open to exercise on his off days. He reports walking for 30 minutes outside on days he does not attend CR. How would you adapt Wayne’s exercise program? Clearly identify the FITT for aerobic and resistance training and program it to be realistically completed during a 1 hour CR session AND any guidelines for exercise outside of CR.
