You heart is a incredible mechanism - it pumps about 6000 quarts of blood daily onto the aorta, which in turn pushes it through delivering blood to other organs and tissues. All muscles help the heart to do its work. The weaker your body muscles, the harder the heart has to work.
Heart healthy Tips - Do Your Daily Exercises
There are many options available - yoga is a great practice if you like it, Chi Qong is another effective approach to staying healthy, or even returning to your radiant health, which I highly recommend doing. Walking, using stairs, swimming, bicycling, playing tennis or badminton - find your own favourite activity - life has so much to offer.
Don't forget dancing for uplifting your spirit and mood. Sometimes when I feel blue, and I have a dance lesson this day, I think, "I don't feel like dancing at all, just wish to stay along...". But I go and...miracle happens ...music, feeling my body movements, our funny instructor, and happy people around filling my heart with joy. Recommended!
OK, you maybe a complete couch potato, then do little things - do series of muscle contractions - buttocks, abs, legs.

Be caution, if you've just had heart attack, or have heart disease.
