Thank you Amazing! Your post was very helpful. I hike with trekking sticks, walk, x-country ski, and kayak. Its the transfer of the kayak, and the enter/exit I struggle with, while trying NOT to use force. Unfortunately my aneurysm appears to have recently enlarged to 44 (soon to be measured again). I have had no guidelines on exercise regarding the aneurysm. My parameters have been loosely laid out in lieu of a comorbidity (angina). My aneurysm has taken a back seat. However, I do follow the posts here. These are helpful. I love cruising through the woods and over the water. I am not fast anymore, but I am still enjoying being able to do it. All the others out there seem to feel the same way. Thank you for your comments!

Great cardios you do. Had my office visit yesterday with my cardiologist and he looked at my weight machine circuit exercises and weight loads and approved of my approach, so I'm continuing that. Also, learned that HIITs are OK (but I dread those because they are so hard to catch your breath). From what I read in a Norwegian study, the HIITs are significantly better at BP reduction over standard cardio at moderate pace (e.g. treadmill). Happy hiking.
