Exercise is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle, especially for individuals with heart disease or other cardiovascular conditions. However, with busy schedules and limited access to gym facilities, it can be challenging to maintain an exercise routine. In response to these challenges, Intermountain Healthcare’s Cardiac Rehab team has developed a series of at-home exercise videos to help individuals stay active and healthy.

Cardiac rehabilitation is a supervised exercise and education program designed to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals with heart disease or other cardiovascular conditions. The program typically includes exercise training, education on healthy lifestyle habits, and support from healthcare professionals.
