I am 43 and in good health, but I was diagnosed with an ascending aortic aneurysm of 4.2 cm. Genetic testing and more monitoring will be done, but initially, cardiologists are recommending no resistance training of any weights. I’m curious if you have thoughts on this as well as a good workout protocol for this situation. I’m an avid podcast listener, so I would appreciate it if you could discuss this in a podcast format.
What type of workouts should I do if I have an aortic aneurysm?
What kind of modifications or adjustments can I make to my MAPS workouts to minimize my risk of injury after discovering I have a root aortic valve aneurysm and can no longer lift heavy or do HIIT cardio?
