COPD and exercise
I really both of you but still exercise. I also would like to improve my health. But it's hard for me to imagine exercise when I'm out of breath just going from one room to the next. My daughter even gives me a shower now. So when I hear about you guys exercising I give you a lot of credit and you're good will strong minded people I have COPD with emphysema I have asthma and I have lupus as soon as I get up in the morning I have to do my nebulizer then when I get on the couch I immediately throw on my oxygen because my large oxygen tank is beside my bed and then a permanent so I always have my my travel
That sounds like me before I got my diagnosis and some medication. Believe me, I know how miserable it is. Would it be possible for you to do some sitting exercises with resistance bands? I was able to do that at my worst and it kept my muscles functioning. I hope you find some way to improve your situation.
, I understand how frustrating it is to feel like you can't even get from one room to the next without being out of breath, so exercise must be out of the question! Fortunately, we have so many great community members here who have found a lot of really interesting ways to modify their exercise so that they don't exacerbate their COPD. Here are some articles we have on low impact exercise and also some videos that can show you what to do: https://copd.net/video/seated-yoga-for-copd or https://copd.net/video/seated-dance . I hope these are helpful. All the best, Sam S. (Team Member).
