6 Week
heart confidence programme

A 6-week guided recovery programme to help you safely return to exercise after a heart attack, stents, or heart surgery.

Rebuild confidence, understand your body and follow a clear step-by-step plan - without fear or guesswork.

After a heart attack, stent, or bypass surgery, many people are left feeling unsure about exercise.

You may be thinking:

  • “What’s actually safe for me now?”

  • “What if I overdo it?”

  • “Why does my body feel different now?”

  • “I was discharged from rehab but still don’t feel confident”

  • “How high can my heart rate safely go?”

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone!

When you are told you have a heart condition, the uncertainty begins…

Most people are discharged from hospital after a heart attack, stent or open heart surgery with:

  • no clear structure

  • conflicting advice online

  • fear of “doing too much” or “doing nothing”

  • loss of confidence in everyday movement

Most people I meet weren’t struggling with their fitness before their diagnosis…
They’re struggling with confidence and clarity and what to do that is SAFE…

Introducing the 6 Week Heart Confidence Programme

A structured 6-week guided programme designed to help you safely rebuild confidence with exercise after a cardiac event.
