@ewei6911 all those exercises lead you to hold your breath to maintain core stability, it takes a lot of practice and discipline to learn how to breath through every second of each rep, that big strain causes your BP to spike by more than 100mmHg in certain cases, it drops immediately after the exercise but those huge spikes can of course be very dangerous for an aneurysm. So listen to your cardiologist!!!

My trainer said most people breath incorrectly. She said the correct way is to breathe in with stomach protruding outwards. I tried it a few times and sort of got the hang of it, but to breathe automatically that way, would be something else. We agreed if I have the ascending aortic aneurysm surgery (not there yet), that my training lessons would include the correct breathing exercises.

My cardiologist's nurse practitioner has me wearing a Holter monitor yesterday when I was scheduled for a training session at the gym with my trainer. We are doing stretches and flexibility exercises (no planking, stomach crunches, or squatting). It will be interesting to see what the Holter monitor shows during that hour of training.
