[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]One of the programmes here at Croí is a Phase IV Cardiac Rehabilitation Programme, designed to provide ongoing support and motivation to individuals with cardiovascular disease to achieve the recommended levels of physical activity.
Terry Small is a dedicated member of Croí’s Phase IV programme and joins us every Tuesday for exercise at Croí House. Terry was referred to Croí after having a stent inserted. He started with Croí’s Active Heart Cardiac Rehab programme back in 2017, before continuing on with the Phase IV class.
“I wasn’t doing much exercise before…You can get lazy when you’re retired! My wife used to go for walks on her own, but now I love joining her and getting out for some fresh air and exercise. Now I am as fit as I can be,” says Terry.
“It’s been a lifestyle change. I’m not a worrier and I just enjoy life. I’ve started relearning how to play the piano, and for me, exercise was like learning an instrument. You have to practice and you have to be patient. Consistency is key!”
The team at Croí are so proud of Terry’s journey to a healthy lifestyle. Terry even took part in Croí’s Annual 5km Night Run last year, “I love showing off my medal… I hadn’t won a medal in 40 years!”
“I look forward to Tuesday and coming to Croí…it’s an excellent facility, I can’t praise it enough.”
Well done, Terry! We look forward to seeing you again on Tuesday.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”5497″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes”][vc_single_image image=”5498″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
