Patient Story – John’s New Lease

John, 70, thought his heart attack spelled the end of his active days. “I was winded tying my shoes,” he recalls. Then cardiac rehab flipped the script. Starting with 10-minute walks, he built up to 30, guided by BACPR pros. Next came resistance training—squats with a chair, light dumbbells—twice weekly. Six months in, he’s hiking hills and lifting grocery bags like a champ. “Rehab gave me confidence—I’m living again!” His cholesterol’s down, stamina’s up, and he’s dropped a trouser size. The key? Showing up, even on tough days, and a class that cheered him on. Research backs this: rehab boosts survival by 20-30%. John’s proof—your new lease is waiting!
