What excersize can I do to help me walk farther without getting tired and out of breath?

I have been using a treadmill to try to walk farther without getting fatigued and out of breath. But it hasn't helped much. What else can I do?

  1. Hi , have you discussed pulmonary rehab with your doctor? Many in our community find it helpful! Here is an article on it as well as an article on other exercise routines: https://copd.net/living-with-copd/pulmonary-rehab and https://copd.net/living/exercise-types Best, Sam S. (COPD team).

    1. I have completed a pulmonary rehab program . I. Have using a treadmill at home,increasing my steps a little at a time,but I am still having a hard time. I'm just wondering if anyone else is having a hard time.

      1. Hi . I hope you get some responses from the community. It can take time to see results. I certainly wouldn't push it any further until you are more comfortable with the time and pace you are doing now. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
