Start Walking as soon as Possible — Walking is the best way to improve your cardiovascular health after a stroke.

It’s low-impact and it activates the muscles in your upper and lower body. You can start walking indoors with the help of a therapist or a walking aid if you feel that you’re not strong enough.
