Educational draft · Clinical review pending · Draft updated 2026-10-15. No clinician authorship or completed medical review is claimed.
What is a useful starting point?
Explain your routine, barriers, symptoms and specialist restrictions. Ask which activity is suitable and how to progress.
What are general activity recommendations?
WHO recommends 150–300 minutes of moderate activity weekly for adults who can exercise safely, alongside strengthening on at least two days. This is not an immediate prescription for every patient. Your starting level needs individual consideration.
What if you have heart disease?
Ask your cardiologist about activity and cardiac rehabilitation after a cardiac event or procedure. Lifestyle guidance is not a formal rehabilitation programme; local rehabilitation availability is not established here.
What should you record?
Note activities and difficulties. Record measurements as agreed with your clinician. Ask how to respond to symptoms and when to follow up.
When should you stop?
Chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting or stroke symptoms need urgent assessment. Do not wait for routine clinic feedback. Continue prescribed treatment.
