Brief Answer:
He should avoid strenuous exercise.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, he should avoid strenuous exercise like running, gyming, push ups, pull ups, sit ups etc.
But he should definitely do routine work like moving around in home, going wash room, walking in home, playing with kids etc.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
