Hi, I would like to share some very good news with you.A year ago I went to the biokenitics department of Pretoria University and they worked out a rehabilitation program of exercises for me. I started off very slowly, but now go to gym 3 times a week, and I'm a different person! I have increased my lung capacity by 4%, the lung specialist was amazed! In case you wondered, I'm 62 years old , and had only 6% lung function before, now have 10% and intend exercising to increase it some more. My heartrate also decreased and my bone density increased. Still use 16 hours oxygen in 24 hour period, but the quality of the remaining 8 hours is fantastic! Know that when you get out of breath from taking a few steps, exercise seems impossible, but IT CAN BE DONE! I can show you the proof! |
