I go with reaction formation, he just had procedure that save his life and now wants to exercise.. I do not see denial because the doc did not say "take it light"
[has got to be the most ambiguous area for step 1]
**After pondering for 5 miutes I change my answer to denial- he is in denial that he nearly lost his life to an MI-he wants to prove he can still be active.
