Cardiac Phase 4 Rehabilitation: Active & Healthy 4 Life scheme

Cardiac Phase 4 Class at Cambourne Sports Centre on Tuesdays 4.15pm by referral only.

The Active & Healthy 4 Life Cardiac Phase 4 Rehabilitation scheme is designed for those patients completing Phase 3 rehab or those who have experienced a recent Cardiac Event. It involves attending a weekly exercise class over a 4-month period in a gym, delivered by a qualified Cardiac Phase 4 instructor.

The Active & Healthy 4 Life Cardiac Phase 4 Rehab scheme includes the following:

  • an initial assessment with a qualified L4 Cardiac Phase 4 instructor
  • a personal exercise programme to follow in a gym environment
  • a set Cardiac class to attend weekly with the instructor
  • a progress review at the end of the first month
  • access to other classes/sessions on offer at the sports centre (providing health condition and progress means this is appropriate), with guidance from the instructor
  • regular contact with the instructor
  • a final assessment at 4 months is done with the instructor and the patient is discharged from the scheme. After this the patient is encouraged to continue exercising at the sports centre and with activities established in daily life.

Who is it for?
