Getting back on the horse

[PXMike]

I suffer from Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy/Heart Failure and had an acute attack roughly one month ago. I'm doing fine, physically, now; however, I'm having trouble getting motivated to return to training. As a person who has years of training, I know that one month is not sufficient time to realize any real muscle wasting; however, I just feel like I have fallen, severely, out of shape. This has begun a snowball effect. I'm down, mentally, because of losing so much of what I worked so hard to build. That has shot the hell out of my daily motivation and, some days, I cannot even get myself to leave the condo. Finally, THAT has caused more muscle wasting. I feel stuck in a spiral and need help getting started again. Are there any recommendations out there? This is, LITERALLY, driving me nuts!

I don't have much direct personal experience with your exact situation, but I have had 3 C-sections. I know the feeling you are describing. What helped me was to focus on what I *could* do. For a while, all I could do was seated exercises, so I did those. If you start with something you can do that won't affect your condition negatively, it might help your motivation come back.
