In this very first episode on Moving with CHD, I chat with fellow fitness lover and PT in training, Chandni. We talk about the surprising way her congenital heart defect was discovered in adulthood, how she prepared for surgery and now recently post-surgery how she's coping with recovery while juggling a young family and rehabilitation. Throughout, we'll also be chatting about when Chandni discovered her love for fitness and how this has supported her heart journey.

Episode 2 - Nick, a triathlete who's faced endocarditis and learnt to challenge himself

A podcast for people living with a congenital heart defect that aims to inspire, motivate and encourage us to be as active as we can be within heart limits. We'll bring this to light with stories from fellow CHD'ers on how they've approached exercise, the hurdles they've faced and what drives them. 

For ACHD'ers, who have sign off from their cardiologist, being active can have so many benefits from supporting overall heart health, making the heart stronger to be able to better cope with events such as surgery, and improve our mental health. With each of the stories in this series, we'll discuss the life changing impact movement has had on their lives.

If you have a congenital heart defect, have a friend or family member with CHD, or just someone who wants to understand more about this, please join us by subscribing to the podcast or watch on our YouTube Channel, Moving with CHD.
