    Francois,

    Talk to your GP or cardiac consultant. There are heart smart groups you could join who will help you with your diet and an exercise plan. You may be able to join a group and attend a weekly gym session and be monitored whilst you start and slowly increase. Try to walk more, where and when possible, do it with a family member of friend, and talk as you march on.

    Doing nothing is the worst you can do.
