Cardiac Rehab

Diane's cardiac rehab sessions started for real this morning. We had to turn up at the local Community Centre where they checked Diane in. Then after a while, the session began with 15 minutes of gentle warm-up exercises. These were set to music but I noticed that only the 3 women managed to do the exercises in time with the music. Some of the movements reminded me of videos you see of Discos in the '70s and I kept checking that there were no handbags around which they were dancing. 

Eventually, they split into their pre-allocated groups and started on their individual exercises. It was good to see that for most of the session, Diane had one-to-one attention.

In all, there must have been 15-20 people going through the programme. Each was following a different set of pre-defined exercises and each had a watch to monitor their heart rate. On their badges was a range within which they should keep their pulse. The individual attention was very impressive.

Altogether we were out for about 90 minutes and Diane could tell she had done the work-out.

The rest of the day has been fairly quiet though Zoe did pop in to have a look at my old 27-inch iMac. She had been thinking of getting a refurbished model by now she has seen quite how big they are she has realised that the 21-inch would make better sense.
