it effectively turned sedentary 55-year-olds into 30-year-olds when viewed through heart activity monitoring equipment.

Being that heart disease is the leading cause of death for most people in the United States, and cardiac strength is inversely correlated with heart disease, it’s probably one of the most significant studies on exercise ever carried out.

Speaking from experience, I would say being kind to yourself is the #1 top priority. So if it hurts... don't do it!

But I enjoy watching TV, or playing mobile games, and doing that while going super slow on a treadmill or better yet an elliptical works even after a surgery.

Or possibly just take the stairs instead of an elevator, if that's an option, like when leaving work. It is not always though, for all people. Opportunities are never equally distributed aka "fair".

Anything helps though. I breathe better, not the day of but the next day, so have come to really miss it when I can't do something. Much like eating healthy, it is a lifestyle change, which as this article suggests, has an even bigger pay-off for a significantly smaller investment than people previously realized. Maybe you can't due to your work schedule or heavy mental load (parents mess us up BAD, I get it), but at least now you / we know just how good exercise is, and how beneficial it is to make up for lost ground. Those are very helpful facts! 😄
