My last strength exercise went well and I was able to work hard without over-raising my heart rate. But then, I thought that monitoring the heart rate might not be enough. Strength training can cause temporary blood pressure to rise, which may not be a good idea. I think there must be a lot of research on this, because besides me, there are many older people with heart restrictions (including survivors of heart attack, angina patients, and people with valve regurgitation). They are still encouraged to do strength training to prevent sarcopenia. So I asked In-depth study of Gemini About it, it produced This interesting report. It notes that proper resistance training can be beneficial to the heart because although it temporarily raises blood pressure, “there is a phenomenon called post-exercise hypotension, which remains below the level of rest before exercise for several hours.”

It turns out that besides the heart rate, I should also monitor the amount I want to propose compared to my 1 max (RM), which is the amount of resistance I can use in a specific exercise. Both the American Heart Association and the American College of Sports Medicine agree that patients with heart disease should not exceed 60% of 1 RM. If you don't know your 1 RM to do your workout, a good rule of thumb is that you should be able to do more than 12 times. This should be difficult, but it won't cause you to be nervous. In addition, it is recommended to twice a week on several non-continuous days. List of “Warning Signs for End of Exercise” (Tight chest, shortness of breath, relaxed mind, etc.)

I do upper body and anti-leg resistance on different days so each workout takes 4 days and you can't avoid back-to-back. With my new training, a game is easy to fit the upper body and legs, so I modified my schedule for Wednesday and Saturday:

My first Wednesday workout from this schedule feels great. I don't have any warning symptoms related to the heart.

Even though the latter uses an impressive range of references, I still trust well-trained professionals with AI. So I checked all of this with a cardiologist and he agreed with the steps I was taking and that wasn't worried. So unless my identity changes, we will follow up in a year.
