I am anxious to find out if my aneurysm has grown in Nov according to the echo. I joined a gym and have been lifting 3lb weights which are kind of heavy for me and I started doing the treadmill for 1 mile at a time. Does anyone see a problem with this?

@anniejam I think you are on the right track, toning your muscles and developing your cardio fitness. But you might wish to give your MD a call just to assure this is OK for your particular health issues. If yes, this sounds like a marvelous way to stay in shape. Over time you will find the 3 lb weight is not so heavy and that you will feel up to walking a bit further. And one of the great things about joining a gym is making new friends.
