I was walking the day I got home, but was told not to get sweaty for 4 weeks. It's not the pacemaker healing so much as infection risk.
2 weeks

I started walking on the treadmill 2 weeks after I got my CRT-D, but took it slow at first. I didn't do any resistance training until 6 weeks after.
Six weeks for golf

My EP told me I can play golf after six weeks. I am at five weeks and counting. Will start slowly though as a right hander, big swing is with left arm.

The day after I came home. I did my normal walking (10mi) except for the gym. I couldn't go to the gym for four weeks, even treadmill.
