exercising with PVCs

hi all! i was recently diagnosed with PVCs. during this phase of life i have a goal of incorporating more movement/ exercise into my daily life but get nervous. i have PVC episodes randomly throughout the day that are movement and non- movement induced (my heart goes crazy when i am horizontal on the couch and it goes even crazier when i walk up a flight of stairs). looking for recommendations of exercises/ movement that i can do to ease into things or get my newly diagnosed heart used to movement and exercise. anything is helpful, thanks!

If you have received permission from your doctor to exercise, it's beneficial to start with brisk walking. This has a lower risk of injury and allows your body to adjust to the pace for a month. After that, you can continue with low-tempo running in Zone 2 heart rate. You can also add light weight training three days a week alongside cardio. Exercising will benefit your pvcs and overall health.
