Exercise is important for everyone, especially those living with a chronic lung condition like COPD, because it actually helps you feel less short of breath over time. We’ve designed this lowintensity fitness class that people of all ages and abilities can do – including those living with a chronic lung or cardiac condition.
Some important things to remember:
You don’t have to do the entire workout at once – go at your own pace. And, if you begin to feel short of breath, slow down or even sit down to regain your breath. With that – grab your water and let’s get started.
