<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hello, I m 40 years old male. had a stent implented in my LAD last week. I m feeling well now. before the procedure i used to do body pumping exercise and lots of cardio treadmill, steps machine, rowing. Would I be able to go back to the same exercises in the future, and approximately after how long. Thank you  <response>: Hi Charles you can go back to your old routine only If your cardiac function is completely normal which can be estimated by an Echocardiogram. If you are not a professional athlete then there is no need to exerted that much. What I would like to recommend you is that start going for daily brisk morning walk for 45 mins a day for 5 days a week, you can also go to gym for light weight lifting and cardio but for that wait for at least a month so that your body can recover fully. This routine will keep you healthy without exerting your heart much. Stop smoking completely If you doWish You Good Health
