Cardio Fitness Program
The Cardio Fitness Program is a program specially designed to encourage healthier lifestyle behaviors and risk factor reduction. It is targeted at healthy individuals with or without risk factors, at a hospital setup. One need not be a (IJN) patient to sign up for this program. The current package comes with a risk stratification process and the exercise program is then tailored to your functional capacity and coronary risk factors (if any). The package includes ECG, 2D ECHO, Stress Test, Lipid profile, Body Fat Analysis, Waist-Hip ratio, Six-Minute Walk Test, Cardiologist consultation and risk stratification together with an exercise package for a total of 24 visits. Individuals can opt for a group or personalized package. However, this is subjected to the results of the risk stratification process.
