For someone with cardiovascular disease (CVD) exercise has shown to be very beneficial in reducing the associated risk factors that come with CVD including: optimsing cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure levels.
Whilst exercise alone can help, an exercise physiologist (EP) can maximise the effectiveness of the exercise regime by ensuring the client is working at the safe and most effective intensity as well as duration.
