When I was an EMT, I could walk in your den and tell you if I was going to be back based on what I saw.
What I saw was a recliner.
That is also my personal belief. I have cardiac issues, and simply getting out and being physically active works. My excessive physical activity is fully approved by my med people.
The worst thing a person can do is retire with a TV remote control in one hand and a six pack of beer in the other. Sadly, my brother did that. His recliner was his best friend while he became morbidly obese and paid the highest price for it at an early age.
Many people think with heart related issues one should just sit back and relax and not do anything physically demanding. One such person was my American Legion rep to the VA for claims. I walked a half mile to her office once and she chewed me out for that.
