Be sure to start out slowly, increase gradually, and get advice from your health care professionals. After my heart event, my cardiac rehab program said to start with five minutes on my treadmill, then increase to twice a day, and gradually increase the time. Eventually I settled in at 30 to 60 minutes at a brisk pace several times a week.
You will then be placed on a treadmill usually at approximately a 10-degree incline at 2 miles per hour and walk for 5 minutes or until you begin to experience pain or discomfort (claudication) to the point you cannot continue the test (walk).
