Hello : This is Doug . I was recently diagnosed with an AAA at 4.5 . I'n 75 and thought i was in decent shape, although a bit overweight (I'm working on that positively ) . I'm trying to find some sort of guidance as to what I can do physically without increasing risk of increasing size of aneurism . I used to lift some weights ,not a lot , maybe 20 lbs ,but enough reps were I would strain pretty hard on the last ones. Well I 've stopped that and walk a mile every day either on the treadmill or outside if its not too cold , but cautious about lifting too much , whatever that is . Other than that I'm trying not to let this run my life but don't want to do anything stupid to aggravate the situation. I guess there's no one size fits all, but would appreciate ant ideas .Thanks
