Outdoor walks – of moderate intensity, promote a stable heart rate without extreme aggression.
Gentle swimming or water aerobics – improve lung capacity and circulation without joint impact.

Stationary or outdoor bike (short trips) – allows you to adjust intensity gradually.
Light strength training – with small dumbbells or elastic bands, ideal for maintaining muscle mass without overload.
